Ruby Osorio is an Artist born in 1974 who lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Her gouache paintings incorporate thread and ink. Her paintings depict fantasy landscapes that portray an adventure into the female identity. In such paintings she creates worlds and fantasy lands where it is safe for girls to "indulge fantasy, explore sexuality and truly awake without shame or hesitation, but hopefully with joy". Her work depicts a fantasy land for women, a look into the female identity that is vastly personal but at the same time universal and relates to the entire gender of women.
