Sandra Pratt at Abend Gallery

Born 1978, self-taught artist Sandra Pratt brings her distinctive vision to Abend Gallery. Known for her expressive palette knife work and intuitive approach, Pratt's paintings explore the interplay between simplicity and emotional depth in landscape art.

Through her work, Pratt continues her exploration of weathered structures and intimate landscapes, rendering scenes with a deliberately limited palette of muted colors. Her process is centered on immediacy and authenticity, completing each painting in a single session.

"Sometimes I will make five paintings in a day... once you get on a good roll, that sixth painting is going to be the best one," she shares. This approach results in works of remarkable freshness and intuitive quality that has become her hallmark.

Originally from Chicago and now based in Colorado, Pratt draws inspiration from the dramatic Western landscapes surrounding her mountain home. Abend Gallery is proud to showcase her ability to distill these vast scenes to their essence, creating works that collectors respond to on a deeply emotional level.
