OYSTER BAY, N.Y., Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Internationally
acclaimed artist Barbara Ernst Prey
has produced a striking new series of digital prints of her most
iconic and important artworks to be issued in limited edition this
Holiday Season. A portion of the proceeds from the series will
benefit Women For Women Afghanistan. Women For Women works at the
critical intersection of women and conflict providing skills,
knowledge, and resources that create sustainable change for women,
their families, and their communities. "I am excited to be able to
support Women For Women during this time", said Prey.
Prey's innovative eye for the American landscape has placed her
paintings in the private collections of U.S. Presidents and
dignitaries, business titans, European Royalty, celebrities
including Orlando Bloom and
Tom Hanks, as well as the prominent
public collections of The National Gallery in Washington D.C., The Brooklyn Museum, The
Smithsonian American Art Museum,
Kennedy Space Center and the permanent collection of The White
House, where she is one of two living female artists represented,
among many other institutions. Prey was recently commissioned by
contemporary art museum MASS MoCA to paint the largest watercolor
in the world for their new building. PBS referred to the MASS MoCA
commissioned artists as "global leaders in contemporary art". For
the past twelve years Prey has served as the sole visual artist on
the U.S. President-appointed National Council on the Arts, the
advisory board to the National Endowment for the Arts. Artists are
appointed for their contributions and recognition in American Art.
The Boston Globe writes about her artwork:
Her attention to windows recalls Vermeer..it's a painter's
job to notice, and to draw out the nuance and light in what the
rest of us ignore. Prey has that eye and hand... what she makes
touches the divine and has staying power.
Limited edition prints of her original artwork include Social
Distancing - painted during quarantine of
two classic wooden fishing dories at sea but connected by
rope, a metaphor of this time. As the supply chain was
disrupted, Prey had to reuse watercolor paper, the ghost outline of
her previous drawing is seen on the overpainted painting -
and Fibonacci's Workshop, included in
the permanent collection of The National Gallery in
Washington, D.C. These and
more of Barbara Prey's most sought-after pieces are now
available to view and purchase with a portion of the proceeds
helping to support Women For Women through Barbara
Prey Studio or online below
