About the Artist

---

Mariah Q. Bater is the artist behind Painted by Ruby — a New York–based collection of atmospheric paintings rooted in romance, nostalgia, femininity, and emotional depth. Her work is inspired by beautiful interiors, complicated hearts, old films, fleeting moments, and the quiet tension between softness and strength.

With a background in biomedical engineering and a lifelong devotion to art, Mariah approaches painting as both intuition and transformation — creating pieces that feel intimate, cinematic, and deeply personal. Through rich color, texture, and mood, her work is designed to bring warmth, beauty, and quiet intensity into a space.

Painted by Ruby is an extension of her world: romantic, reflective, and unapologetically emotional.
