About Prudence Horne

 
 
  • Biography

    Prudence Horne grew up in Boston, MA and received a MFA from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, and a BA in Art History from Trinity College, Hartford, CT. She has exhibited her work extensively throughout the states as well as abroad. Prudence has also been awarded several grants and residency programs, specifically, Heinrich Boll, Co. Mayo, Ireland,  Fundacion Valparaiso, Almeria, Spain, and the Montana Artist Refuge, Basin, Montana. Prudence is currently teaches Art History and various Studio Arts classes at San Diego City College. 

    Her abstract paintings represent her personal response to landscape, both the external landscape of the physical world and the internal landscape of the individual.   

    Her paintings incorporate a vision of the landscape taken directly from observations - the undulating surface of ocean waters, the light bouncing off of waves, and the colors swirling about in the currents. She does not copy these simple subjects in nature but expands on them. Horne paints numerous versions of the same concept and with each painting she explores subtle differences in color, space, shapes and rhythms. Each variation in a brush stoke, a drip, or the surface of the paper or canvas forces a new interpretation of the landscape, regardless of how subtle the differences may be.  

    Horne’s paintings express her energy, emotions, and thoughts in response to the environment in which she lives.
