Beth Lipman

Beth Lipman (born 1971, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a contemporary artist working in glass.

[2] Her mother was a self-taught painter whose collection of books on folk painting influenced Lipman at an early age.

[6] After the apprenticeship, she completed a number of residencies at programs including the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, WI, in 2003; the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA, in 2006; and The Studio at The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, NY, in 2006 and 2011.

[6] During that time, she was also the head of the glass department at the Worcester Center for Crafts, Worcester, MA (2002-2004) and the studio director of education and artist services at the Creative Glass Center of America at WheatonArts (2004-2005).

[9] According to Lipman, her work explores several themes, including materiality, mortality, temporality, consumerism, and critical issues that stem from the still life tradition in the 17th century.
