After completing secondary school with a focus on the arts, she established a solid foundation for her creative pursuits. Though she eventually embarked on a professional career in medicine, art has consistently remained her primary hobby and a significant aspect of her life.

Residing abroad has given Ruta both the inspiration and the chance to refine her abilities and explore innovative painting techniques.
