Kay Ruane is an American painter.
For years I've been drawing figures inside a room with micro landscapes out the windows. I think of the drawings as dioramas, or tiny graphite worlds.
At first these drawings were formal in imagery, as well as strictly black and white. Recently, I'm paying a lot more attention to details like the kind of flower, the title of a book on the table or a painting on the wall.
I want these details to relate to specific themes in each drawing, with a dose of humor and sexuality.
