Her works of art include bronze sculptures, leather vests and purses, and various jewelry pieces. The exhibition will continue in the Brown-Wynne Gallery until the end of March.

Pruitt moved to Huntsville just over three years ago to be closer to family. Originally from Oklahoma, she moved to California in the early 1950s where she owned and operated several businesses including an antique shop. 

A lifelong admirer of art, Pruitt began taking classes and attending workshops in a variety of mediums including painted silk, watercolor, leatherworking, and sculpting. She also designed and built stages and sets for churches, conventions, and theatres. It was her love of sculpting that she concentrated on and in 1998 she was commissioned to create the life-size bronze called “Lorelei” for the City of Escondido’s (CA) growing art walk. In 2007 they added another of her pieces, three life-size statues as a military tribute called “Past, Present and Future.” Her artwork has been featured at various shows and galleries throughout her career in California, Colorado, Utah, Texas, as well as internationally. 

The Wynne Home Arts and Visitors Center is free to explore and is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For more information visit www.thewynnehome.com or call (936) 291-5424.
