This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  A painter and muralist who spent most of her art career in Texas, Ruby Stone was born in Alexandria, Louisiana, and moved to Dallas in 1926. She studied at the Dallas Art Institute with Olin Travis and then traveled and studied in France, enrolling at the American School of Fine Arts in Fontainebleu on a scholarship from the Dallas Art Institute. Stone returned to the United States and studied in New York at the National Academy of Design with Leon Kroll and the Art Students League with Hans Hofmann, Luigi Lucioni and Kimon Nicolaides.
She then went to Dallas where she taught at the Art Institute and in 1936, after her marriage to James Markham, she moved to Houston and also kept a studio part time in New York City. She died in Sugar Land, Texas and was buried in Houston.
