Butlins
Ruth is a contemporary British painter based in Sussex, celebrated for her bold, joyful artworks that explore colour, nostalgia, and the rituals of leisure. Her dreamlike compositions blend memory and imagination, capturing the evocative beauty of everyday moments through instinctive, expressive use of colour.
Butlins is a joyful homage to the golden age of British seaside holidays. Inspired by the iconic architecture of Butlins Brighton, the painting captures a sun-drenched daydream of design, memory, and nostalgia. The glowing butter-yellow building takes centre stage, its curved lines and symmetrical windows set against a rich turquoise sky, evoking both glamour and warmth.
Surrounding the building are classic cars - most notably a Beetle, a personal nod to the artist's first car, and smaller touches like a gardener tending the lawn add personality to this lovingly curated scene.
Butlins is a limited edition giclée print from an exclusive edition of just 10. Each piece is printed on 300gsm lightfast white Minuet paper, and is signed and numbered by the artist.

About the artist
Ruth Mulvie is a British contemporary painter celebrated for her vivid colour palette, nostalgic themes, and dreamlike depictions of leisure and escapism.
A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, with additional training at Beaux-Arts de Paris, Mulvie’s work is rooted in memory and imagination. She paints sun-drenched lidos, retro hotels and lush, otherworldly scenes that blend the real with the surreal, often punctuated by personal symbolism and playful eccentricity.
Mulvie’s paintings are instantly recognisable for their bold colour choices and layered compositions, combining a deep knowledge of art history with a distinctly modern edge. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at The Other Art Fair in Santa Monica, and was selected for Saatchi Art’s inaugural NFT collection.
In 2025, she unveiled Endless Summer, a major solo exhibition at the iconic Saltdean Lido. The show – which received widespread attention including a feature on BBC News – was inspired by local memories and the joy of lido life, and further cemented her reputation for capturing the spirit of British leisure with style and wit.
Mulvie’s work is held in private collections worldwide and continues to delight audiences with its optimism, storytelling and unmistakable colour
