Early life
Grafstrom was born on April 26, 1905, in Rock Island, Illinois. Her father, Olaf Grafstrom was a painter from Sweden who immigrated to Seattle. His work influenced Northwest realist painters and at one time he chaired the art department at Augustana College. Ruth's mother was also an artist, focusing on ceramics.
Grafstrom attended school in Chicago and Paris and after graduating, worked in fashion illustration.
Artistic career
She created illustrations for Vogue magazine, including some covers. Grafstrom also contributed illustrations to the Delineator, Cosmopolitan, and other women's magazines. Her illustrations featured real, approachable women. She drew "'real' women...[who] inhabit 'real' space." Her illustrations sometimes included fabric collage, to give the image texture
