Judith Pratt holds an MFA from American University, Washington DC and an MA in Modern and Contemporary Art History from Christie's Education, NY. She also served as a Curatorial Assistant at The Morgan Library and Museum, NYC. She is an installation artist whose work connects history, identity, and the topography of Central Virginia's Piedmont region, where the artist was born and raised. The region combines expansive natural beauty with a turbulent history that includes centuries of chattel slavery, brutal Civil War battles, and the ongoing impact of racism and white supremacy. Pratt's tightly constructed drawings reference topographical maps, while her cut sculptural works are formed of Lenox 100 paper, a material made entirely of domestic cotton that references the racial transgressions of the South. Pratt's recent exhibitions include the Taubman Museum of Fine Art Triennial (Curator: Nandini Makrandi); Arlington Arts Center Biennial (Curator: Blair Murphy); and The Athenaeum (Juror: Molly Berger Salah, National Gallery of Art). Her recent solo exhibitions include Second Street Gallery, Phillip Johnson Towers Crescent Gallery, International Arts & Artists, The Alexandria Commission for the Arts, City of Alexandria Virginia, and others. Her work is included in the collections of Abramson & Associates, Cerberonics Corporation, GTE Telenet Corporation, Lockheed Corporation, Rozansky and Kay Corporation, as well as numerous private collections. Pratt received a Purchase Award for her work juried by Olga Hirshhorn for Abramson & Associates, Washington, DC. She has been awarded residencies at VCCA's Moulin à Nef in Auvillar, France, the University of Virginia's Mountain Lake Biological Station in Pembroke, Virginia, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts in Amherst, Virginia. Her work has been reviewed in ARTnews, The Washington Post, Hyperallergic, and East City Art. She served as Vice Chair and Program Chair of the Washington Sculptors Group, a 400-member organization that serves artists in the greater Washington, DC region, and beyond.
