From an early age I have been a creator. Training at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Art and Architecture with a degree in Graphic Design. Winning many national and international awards, teaching design at Massachusetts College of Art and The Art Institute of Boston, Leslie College, and judging award shows. I am a designer; www.prattdesign.net, and fine artist, creating abstract expressionist; oil, encaustic, photographic digital images. My work is engendered by my response to the world. Many things inspire me; among them are nature, science, energy, emotions and the interpersonal drama. My training in design informs my art. I bring an abstract graphic approach to my conceptual emotive images. I am interested in the simplest gesture of the hand, line, and color, as a means to communicate my feelings about my subject. Creating art for me is a highly focused meditative experience. From an early age, I was/am inspired by Turner, Frankenthaler, Van Gogh, Krasner and Rothko. Original Art and Prints available on Etsy
