About the Juror — Ruthie Partin

Ruthie Partin is a multidisciplinary artist, tattooist, and muralist based in Gainesville, Texas. She is the owner of Bold Hearts Tattoo and manages multiple art-driven companies, bringing together fine-art training, entrepreneurial vision, and a deep commitment to creative community building.

Ruthie holds a B.F.A. in Studio Fine Art from East Central University in Ada, OK, where she focused on large-scale metal sculpture, pottery, and other sculptural media. She went on to earn a Master of Arts from the University of Oklahoma, and will begin pursuing her Ph.D. in Arts Administration in 2027.

Her artistic practice spans custom tattoo design, large-scale murals, and fine art, often defined by expressive linework, symbolic imagery, and strong emotional narrative. Working alongside her husband and creative partner, Charles Partin, she has contributed to several public art projects throughout Oklahoma and Texas.

Ruthie continues to shape the region's creative landscape through her studio work, public art, and the growing network of art businesses she leads.
