shows in galleries in Chicago; Charleston, SC; the Boston area; Martha’s Vineyard, MA; Portland, ME; and Southport, CT.
Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Art New England, Artmag of the South, and The Charleston Post and Courier.
Her group exhibitions include the New Jersey Arts Annual 2023, Noyes Museum of Art and Arts Garage in South Jersey; Cape Cod Museum of Art, Dennis, MA; The Center for Contemporary Art, Bedminster, NJ; Copley Society of Art, Boston; Arts Club of Washington, D.C.; National Association of Women Artists, NY; Shore Institute of Contemporary Arts, Long Branch, NJ; the Attleboro Arts Museum, MA; and Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts, NJ, among others.
Artist residencies have provided Hamill pivotal support, starting with a VSC Grant for residency at the Vermont Studio Center in 2009 and highlighted by the Copley Society of Art Fellowship Award for residency at Fine Arts Work Center (FAWC), Provincetown, MA, in 2017. She completed The Artist Residency Project at the School of Visual Arts (SVA), New York, in 2023 and previously had residencies at The Tin Shop, Breckenridge, CO (2009 and returning in 2010), and Golden Apple Art Residency, Harrington, ME. Her first international residency was Sam Rit Artist Residency in Thailand (2017) and she travelled to Galway, Ireland, for residency at Watershed Studios in 2023. Hamill is currently working on a Master of Fine Arts degree, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, to be completed in 2025. She’s enrolled in the low residency MFA program in order to maintain her work as a professional artist as she pursues her degree.
For the past decade, Ruth Hamill has lived and worked in Mays Landing, NJ. She was born and raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and lived in the Boston area for many years.
