Form Revisited by Artist Pen Brady
The Prehistoric Museum, USU Eastern Presents
Form Revisited by Artist pen brady
Our gallery exhibition, opened to the public on March 14th, and features works by contemporary wildlife artist Pen Brady who resides in Bunceton, Missouri. Pen’s work has a Northwest Coast feel with primarily non-northwest subjects. She has had numerous one-woman shows throughout the Midwest and East, as far as Atlanta, Georgia. She is represented by numerous art galleries throughout the Midwest, as well as Georgia, Texas, and Washington State.
Our Director of Education and Exhibits Lloyd Logan had
the pleasure of working with Pen for seven years when they were employed by
Chase Studio in Cedar Creek, Missouri. Pen started out as a botanical model
maker and soon became supervisor of the Botanical Model Department due to her organizational
ability and attention to detail. Her botanical models may be seen in numerous
museums throughout the US and many foreign countries. She is an exceptional
artist in any medium: 2D or 3D.
With a strong influence from tribal designs originating in
the Pacific Northwest, Pen Brady brings a unique view of animals, insects, and
plants through her work. Each of her acrylic and India ink paintings reflects
the beauty and individuality of her subjects—from the majestic mammals to the
diminutive insects. All are worthy of attention. Their particular forms develop
from an ensemble of organic shapes and precise line work. The end result is an
uncommon portrait of sensitivity and elegance.
The Prehistoric Museum, located at 155 East Main Street, Price,
Utah, is a
multi-faceted venue that includes paleontology, archaeology, geology, and an
art gallery. This spectacular show is a must-see event. Located on the second
floor of the museum, this exhibition can be experienced from March 14, 2015
through May 22, 2015 during regularly scheduled hours of operation,
Monday through Saturday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. (general admission rates apply)
