Sometimes I think the talents of some professors are taken for granted. We often feature visual artists we like, but feel we have to stop and mention one of our own superstars, Carol Prusa. She teaches Painting and Drawing on the Boca Raton campus. Here is her campus contact information.
Her bio [excerpted from her artist website]: Carol Prusa is a mid-career contemporary artist known for her meticulous silverpoint technique and use of unexpected materials from sculpted resin and fiberglass to metal leaf and LED lights. In the 2015 catalogue essay for the exhibition Drawing in Silver and Gold: Leonardo to Jasper Johns, Bruce Weber called Carol Prusa “one of the most innovative artists working in metalpoint today.” Born in Chicago, Prusa lives and works in South Florida and exhibits internationally, including at Brintz Gallery (Palm Beach) and Jenkins Johnson Gallery (NYC and San Francisco). Her work is included in excellent public and private collections, including the Perez Art Museum (Miami), The Museum of Arts and Design (NYC), Telfair Art Museum (Savannah), and the Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz Collection.
