Ruth Gilmour (b. 1990, Scotland) is an artist and researcher based in Denmark and London. She graduated from The Glasgow School of Art (BFA First-Class Hons, 2017) and HDK-Valand, Sweden (MFA, 2020), and is currently undertaking a PhD in Artistic Research at the Royal College of Art, London. Her practice is intrinsically tied to the material and sensorial resonance of silk, exploring its relationship with the body and the natural world.

Her work is held in public and private collections, including the Danish Arts Foundation.
