Synopsis
A portrait of renowned artist Ginny Ruffner who chose lamping working as her initial artistic medium, and in doing so, she revolutionized popular and critical opinions about this formally "kitsch" platform for her unique and globally acclaimed art form. Adding to her story of inspiration is her astounding recovery from a near-fatal car accident in 1991. As an established artist by age 39, she was hit by an uninsured teenage driver, leaving her in a coma for five weeks and confined to a hospital for five months. Doctors were convinced that she would never walk or talk again. But true to her indomitable spirit, Ginny Ruffner transformed a potentially tragic accident into a career of even more imaginative creations. From pop-up books to public works, Ruffner's art has blossomed and continues to expand.
