Ruth Tulving
painter, printmaker
Canadian, b. Estonia, (1930–2012)
Born in Estonia, Ruth Tulving (nee Mikkelsaar) grew up in an orphanage where her mother - a trained artist - worked as a supervisor, and often would have to live apart from her mother, in other orphanages, during an isolated childhood. These experiences were formative in Tulving's passage from Estonia to a German refugee camp after World War II and, in 1950, to Canada. She studied art at the Ontario College of Art (OCAD U), in Toronto and graduated in 1962, at the top of her class: awarded the Lieutenant Governor's Medal. She did her post graduate studies in printmaking at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, in Paris and later at the University of California, Berkeley. The works she developed in Paris, a series of collages depicting the human figure, were shown in her first solo exhibition in January 1964 at the Douglas Duncan Picture Loan Gallery, in Toronto. Ruth Tulving's work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions nationally and internationally in North America, South America, Europe and the People’s Republic of China. She was the recipient of many awards, including the National Academy of Design Award (1966). Her work is represented in numerous public and private collections including the State Art Museum, Tallinn, Estonia; Canada Council Art Bank Collection, Ottawa, ON; Ontario House Collection, London, UK; and the State Museum of Art in Beijing, China.
