Carolyn Prescott

About the Artist

Carolyn Prescott grew up in North Carolina, was educated at Duke University (BA) and Bard College, New York (MFA in painting). She has lived mainly in three places in her life: Durham, North Carolina; Austin, Texas; and since 2000, in Germany. To her, painting and drawing are ways of exploring the world, and the tradition of painting offers many possibilities. Painting provides an imaginative field of play between perception and conception, between image and language.
