Ruth Uglow was born in 1975. She studied at the Winchester School of Art and Design from 1995 to 1998, and gained a BA in Fine Art, Printmaking, before studying for her MA in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art from 1998 to 2000. She is drawn to printmaking, and etching in particular, because she enjoys "the intensity of the process, the tactility of the materials, the variety of the tones and the dense quality of the final print."
In 2000 she was awarded the Desmond Preston Printing Prize and the John Purcell Prize. She has also been awarded a Royal Overseas League Travel Scholarship, the Gwen May Trust Award and the Printmaking Today Prize at the National Print Exhibition. She is currently a Student Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Pritmakers. Her first solo exhibition was held in 2001 at the Framework Gallery in London.
