Phthalo Ruth is founded by Brooklyn-based designer, Meghan Kreger. Her work explores life’s little luxuries, whether it is a day spent in a quiet café or a night cackling over cocktails with friends. Meghan's art invites viewers to manifest their daydreams, to slow down, and to connect with each other and the world.

Meghan gravitates towards gouache, marker, coloured pencils, crayons, and other rudimentary materials out of a desire to reconnect with play. Her approach to artmaking is decidedly unserious, resulting in colourful pieces that speak to the inner child.
