Brie Ruais was born in S. California and earned a BFA degree from New York University. The best way to describe her artistically is that she is a sculptor. She uses many materials around her to tie a work together. From embroidery thread to plexiglass to dyes, Ruais creates works that unfold a series of events with their accumulation of details. Ruais' work has been displayed in galleries all over NYC, as well as Tokyo. You can visit her website here: http://www.brieruais.com/
