Biographical History
Ruth Penington (1905- ) is an educator, metalworker, and printmaker from Seattle, Wash.
Mrs. Pennington was partial owner of the Silver Queen Mine, Mojave, Calif., which was purchased by Consolidated Goldfields of South Africa. The sale was the subject of a lawsuit in 1934-35.
Artist and educator, Ruth Penington (1905-1998), worked in a variety of media, including painting and printmaking, but was best known for her metalwork and jewelry. Born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, her family moved to Seattle, Washington in 1907. She studied art at the University of Washington, receiving a B.F.A. in 1927 and an M.F.A. in 1929. Penington continued her studies in summer sessions at Teachers College in New York City, Carnegie Summer School at the University of Oregon, and the California College of Arts and Crafts. Later a faculty member of the University of Washington School of Art, Penington also served as director of the University's Henry Art Gallery and created her own summer art program, the Fidalgo Summer School of the Allied Arts (located in La Conner, Washington). She also was involved with groups that promoted the arts in the Pacific Northwest, including Lambda Rho, Northwest Printmakers, and Friends of the Crafts.
