Prilla Smith Brackett

“For the past 15 years, I have approached landscape in a conceptual way, in that I use landscape to say more than a description of a place. The work has ranged from expression of environmental concerns to juxtapositions that are more contemplative.

Currently I am exploring the intermingling of the domestic with the natural. Using mixed media on paper or board, I incorporate furniture from an old family house with forest imagery. The work allows the imagination to wander and memory to surface.”

Brackett's solo exhibitions have included the 2002 show, "Uncertain Balance," at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington DC, and "Remnants: Ancient Forests & City Trees" which traveled to 8 venues in ME, VA, NH, PA, MA, CT, TN, NY 1999 - 2001. She was a fellow in painting at the Bunting Institute of Radcliffe College, and has been an artist in Cambridge since 1980. She was a fellow at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts March 2007.
