Beth Lipman

"The use of glass creates a tangible third dimension, capturing the work's polished quality; it foils the viewer's eye; it frustrates efforts to claim and own what is seen."

Beth Lipman lives and works in Sheboygan Falls WI. She has exhibited at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, Gustavsbergs Konsthall in Sweden, Museum of Glass in Washington, ICA/MECA in Maine, RISD Museum, and been aquired by the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Corning Museum of Glass. She has received numerous awards including a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant, Wisconsin Arts Board Fellowship, and a Ruth Chenven Foundation Grant.
