Ruth Murphy of Burlington, VT was immersed in the arts in her first year of college at Boston University’s, Fine and Applied Arts program. Ruth took many art and museum courses during the time of her undergraduate and graduate degrees. One of those courses was an introduction to stained glass.

For the last eighteen years Ruth has been seriously working with glass. All of her designs are original and solely handcrafted by Ruth. The creative genius of Frank Lloyd Wright greatly influences much of her work -- clean lines in simple geometry. Ruth prefers to work with mouth-blown cathedral glass, antique bottles, mirror, and/or minerals (i.e., agate slices) that offer a special energy for her beveled art hangings. Her work includes hand beveling that she crafts herself, as well as those in standard bevels. She works in both the Tiffany (copper foil) process and came. Often her pieces will incorporate both techniques. Between the prismatic effect of the beveling and the fractured light of the cathedrals and minerals, her two-dimensional designs offer depth and appear multidimensional.
