Philadelphia's Ray King, 27, until recently had to make ends meet by restoring old stained-glass windows; now he is one of the few artists in the medium who can earn a living making his own experimental pieces. Benida Solow, 30, whose lustrous Innerscape, a freestanding screen, was included in the Los Angeles show, has been represented at five other California exhibitions in the past two years...
