Ruth grew up in Liverpool in the 1960s and when she was 4 ½ years old, her widowed mother Angie married Jim McCartney – Paul’s father. In America, we would call it a “Brady Bunch” situation, or more accurately a blended family.

Suddenly, Ruth’s life was a whirlwind of faces and places and music and merriment. At such an impressionable age, and surrounded by so many talented artists, she chose to study art, music, design, and dance at school, and parlayed that into a career spanning the decades where she is now known as “The Digital Diva.”

When the challenge arose, 2 years prior to publication, to source images for Angie’s new book (which Ruth titled) “There are Faces I Remember”, she took full advantage of 25+ years in the internet and Ad. Agency businesses she runs with her husband and producing partner Martin Nethercutt. Immediately, she went through boxes of old family pictures and Angie’s meticulous diaries, conjuring up the images and essences from her past and re-creating the people she had met along the way, using various methods from WACOM tablet painting, to Photoshop airbrushing, Illustrator shape creation and various apps to paint and shade her whimsical vision for the characters in this book.

A unique collaboration between a mother and a daughter who’s been around the world together, this book is a labour of love as well as a digital diary of all the folks they have met on their long and winding road.
