    Artist Barbara Ernst Prey has produced a striking new series of digital prints of her most iconic and important works, to be issued in limited edition this holiday season.

    A portion of the proceeds from the series will go to benefit Doctors Without Borders, in response to the ongoing international Ebola crisis.

    Prey was a presidential appointee to the advisory board of The National Endowment for the Arts.

    Prey's paintings are in the permanent collections The White House, The Brooklyn Museum, The Smithsonian National Museum of American Art, Kennedy Space Center and others.

    As an artistic ambassador, her artwork is displayed in more than 100 embassies and consulates worldwide, through the U.S. Art in Embassies program.

    As a NASA artist she joins an elite group of American artists who have documented space history. Prey was recently featured on the CBS “Evening News” for her NASA artwork, part of a Smithsonian traveling exhibit.

    Prey is the recipient of many honors and awards, including the New York State Senate Women of Distinction Award. A graduate of Williams College with a master's degree from Harvard, she was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship and a grant from The Henry Luce Foundation.

    Four of Prey's pieces are now available as limited edition prints: “The Collection,” “Family Portrait,” “Nocturne IV” and “Peapod and Dorothy.”

    Twenty-six other works are also available through the Barbara Prey Studio: www.barbaraprey.com/shop and studio@barbaraprey.com.
