Artist Statement:
*Tree Pruitt works with
acrylic painting, assemblage
art, sculpture, oil painting,
collage, digital painting &
photomanipulation. Her styles
reflect social & political
issues, metaphysic,
spirituality & existential
matters of the human
condition.
PLEASE NOTE: 4/26/2007 I have
so many items coming and going
that they often don't get the
chance to be listed because
I'm very busy right now. I
also have many projects in
motion at this time, so regret
to say that my space here is a
bit sparse. I'll be sharing
some new items here very soon.
Thank you.
*STATEMENT: Images are often
arenas for my own
contemplation of a thought or
an emotional out-pouring. My
angst, when present, is
balanced by an unstoppable
optimism and unending
curiosity.
It's my curiosity and need for
expression that make me paint.
I have fun with creativity and
most enjoy re-creating objects
from everyday life through
sculpture, assemblage, and
folk art activities. But I
always go back to paint.
Overall, it's up to the
individual viewer to take away
what they will - what they
need - from the experience.
I'm just trying to offer an
experience to have.
My works can be found in...

The thrill of a work of art coming together is a powerful thing; getting it out and making it work. Picasso, Matisse, Wassily Kandinsky, Gauguin, Marcel Duchamp, Kupka and others continue to offer me inspiration. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I create because I feel I must and offer works for sale in order to create more; really. Images are often arenas for my own contemplation of a thought or an emotional out-pouring. My angst, when present, is balanced by an unstoppable optimism and unending curiosity.
It's my curiosity and need for expression that make me paint. I have fun with creativity and most enjoy re-creating objects from everyday life through sculpture, assemblage, and folk art activities. But I always go back to paint.
If you don't like my paintings, I will still paint. If no one ever buys another, I'll let the canvas' pile up. Take away my paints and brushes, and I will moisten the soil to decorate the wall of a cave. It's an addiction, therapy, and communion with the Divine all wrapped inside shapes, textures and brushes. Discovering methods for teaching myself to release my thoughts through art and share them, wasn't entirely a choice, nor was it an easy task. But for some reason it's a more worthwhile activity to me than just about anything else.
Artistic expression is a human need, and being able to create connects me to my species proper. Painting, like no other activity, seems to allow my sub-conscience mind to speak with an external voice. Very often a negative frame of mind will transform through the paint into an attractive image -- without my having intended such a result -- and the transmutation is healing. My works often house symbols within the imagery -- observations offered in service to humanity perhaps -- an effort to aide my brothers and sisters on the journey -- or simply an opportunity to run my mouth about something that's ticked me off. How and why humans alone among the creatures of this planet are compelled to create, and the diversity of creation itself, are unending fascinations of mine. |

| Your Personal Biography |
After receiving numerous awards & recognition for her artistic skills early in life, Tree Pruitt chose to follow a path of her own making. Being a child of the 1970's, she decided to focus on integrating her interests in science, the arts, & pop culture. Tree has read countless books on philosophy, archeology, psychology, anatomy, mysticism, sociology, & other varied subjects. Those topics were then combined with the study of art history and technique. She has also been able to observe & learn from rare film footage of many modern masters at work. This has allowed Tree to incorporate the masters’ methods into her own efforts. With observation, practice, & the devotion of a lifetime, this artist’s goal is to achieve a style that speaks to the soul.
Works can be found in private collections around the world, including the socio-political collection of Mr. Bryan Dodd. Most clients are individuals who prefer privacy be respected on the Net for security reasons. I do invite you to contact me if you'd like referrals.
