The Prehistoric Museum, USU Eastern Presents

Form Revisited by Artist pen brady

 
The Prehistoric Museum 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)
