Ruth’s Still Life by David Wiggin is a vibrant, abstract composition that hints at a floral arrangement without clearly defining one. Bright bursts of red are layered among a mix of other saturated colors — yellows, greens, and pinks- creating a lively and expressive surface.
While some may see flowers in a vase, others might interpret the shapes more freely. The painting offers a sense of movement and energy, with color doing much of the storytelling. It balances structure and spontaneity, encouraging the viewer to bring their own perspective to the scene.

Artist David Wiggins left his New Hampshire home at seventeen and traveled across America looking for the Beat Generation. His colorful journeys led him to Europe, where he lived on the Greek fishing island of Poros. This experience began David’s long love affair with islands, and with painting. A passion for period antiques, decorating, and historic preservation led him to Nantucket in the early 1990s. An expressionist who has worked in many mediums, David paints from feeling and atmosphere. His years on Nantucket were ones of great inspiration, drawn from his love of the island’s old houses and sense of history. Today, David makes his home in New Hampshire.
History is important to David, whose family descended from colonial governor Thomas Wiggins, but he is forward-thinking when it comes to his art. David’s father was a restorer of old New England houses, a trade David picked up in addition to running the family business, Wiggins Brothers Antiques. His painting knows no one genre or medium; he is the rare truly versatile artist.
