Biography
Born Ruth Jên Evans at Cefn Llwyd, she studied on an Art Foundation Course at Carmarthen before completing a degree in fine art in Cardiff (1983-1987), specialising in printmaking. She returned to Aberystwyth having completed her studies, and worked for the Academi Gymreig, and doing book cover illustration work on a freelance basis for the local publishers, Y Lolfa. She painted the first infamous mural in Tal-y-bont in 1991, on the side of the old Lolfa building.

Ruth Jên's illustration work is often done in mixed media, such as combining painting, collage and printmaking techniques.
