Ruby Palmer was born in Boston, MA and grew up in rural Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
Trained as an abstract painter at Hampshire College (1988-92) she started experimenting with sculpture and installation at the School of Visual Arts in NYC (MFA 1998-2000) as a way to work larger and directly with the architecture of the room. In 1999 she was awarded a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant for Painters and Sculptors.

Ruby had a solo exhibition, “Assembly”, at Morgan Lehman Gallery in NYC in May-June 2021. She was included in the Mohawk Regional Juried Exhibition at Opalka Gallery in Albany in Fall 2021, and was awarded the Chet and Karen Opalka Award.
