Mary Pratt’s (1935-2018) paintings celebrate ordinary household or everyday objects and events – jars of jelly, fish on plastic wrap, cracked eggs, a bowl of fruit – in a realist yet flamboyant style. In the 1970s, Pratt turned to depictions of women and their personal, domestic lives. In these works, she elevates banal, everyday tasks to the level of ritual. A certificate of authenticity is available.

In 1996, Pratt was named Companion of he Order of Canada and in 1997 was awarded the $50,000. Canada Council Molson Prize. She has received nine honorary doctorates from universities across Canada. Her work is found in prominent public, corporate and private collections including those of the National Gallery of Canada, The Rooms, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the New Brunswick Museum, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Ontario and Canada House, UK.
