Existing in a landscape is not a static experience. My paintings explore memory, history, and sensory encounters in the natural world. They are meant to feel active and layered, representing the ways in which we breathe, walk, run or drive through a landscape. What do we notice? What has been there for 300 years and what is just emerging? Each painting is an attempt to piece together the emotional, nostalgic, and sometimes problematic aspects of change in the natural world, as mimicked in our own lives and bodies. Pratt earned her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2009. Her work focuses on the relationship between individuals and the natural world. With a background in the study of many art media and landscape architecture, Pratt now works from her studio in Ipswich, MA. Her work is in private collections in California, Montana, New York, and throughout New England. Pratt has shown work at Montserrat College of Art, the RISD Museum, and is a member of the Essex Art Collective.
