Prudence is a self-taught artist living and working in Washington, DC, the same city in which she was raised since infancy. As a teenager, she took courses at the Corcoran School of Art for figure drawing, photography, and film development and began painting consistently in 2001. After years of participating in several group and juried exhibitions, and selling and auctioning work, Prudence went on a creative hiatus in early 2010. In 2020, after a decade-long pause from painting, she began to reconnect with her work, one brush stroke at a time.
