Ruth graduated in 1993 and embarked upon world travels including Japan, United States and New Zealand. Throughout this time her primary focus was on developing her skills with hot glass, networking and expressing herself with the material. Ruth attended and conducted workshops, exhibited, undertook residencies and worked consistently with ideas.

In 1995 Ruth decided to reside in her birth country New Zealand and establish a hot glass studio of her own in which to work from. She met her business partner and together they built the studio named ‘Gloria’. Gloria dissolved in early 2000 enabling Ruth to return to Australia and resume a more artistic practice.

Currently she is enrolled in a Master of Fine Arts degree, majoring in glass and sculpture at Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria.
