Ruth Ancilleri

I'm a visual artist, illustrator and fine arts lecturer based in the island of Malta. In 2007, I completed a Masters in Visual Arts at the Libera Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence and in 2018 I concluded a Masters in Illustration (Visual Communication) at the University of Hertfordshire.

After my studies in Florence in 2008, I worked as a Junior Draughtsperson and Illustrator on the Alejandro Amenábar film Agora, where I learned hands-on skills and gained more confidence in the creative industry.

Throughout the years I have collaborated with other artists and designers on various artistic ventures; events, exhibitions, and freelance projects including working as a freelance illustrator for the Malta National Book Festival in 2013 and 2014. 

I currently hold the post of senior lecturer in Fine Arts at the MCAST Institute for the Creative Arts in Malta where I have been teaching for the past twelve years.
