Fine art career
In the early 1990s Ruddell made a major shift in his work, turning towards figurative fine art. Essentially leaving the illustration scene. Since this shift, Ruddell has been exhibiting and showing in museums, galleries, universities and exhibitions across the United States. He has cited Bay Area Figurative Movement as a significant influence on his art.[2] He has said of his work, "I like to think of my paintings as stills in a film, suspended moments, a private glimpse into the human condition."[4]
