 S1E6 Edmond Praybe
 
 Creative Contemplation podcast host & creator, Suzanne Lago Arthur has an illuminating conversation with oil painter Edmond (“Ed”) Praybe about his work, his training and early influences and how he became the painter he is today. In addition, Ed generously shares his insight on how other artists can hone their own intuition, artistic vision and unique style.
 
Edmond Praybe is a painter concerned with the convergence of perception and abstraction. His work pairs intense direct observation of the motif with abstractions of structure, rhythm, shape and color. He received his BFA from Maryland Institute, College of Art and MFA from the New York Studio School. Edmond’s work has been shown widely at juried and invitational exhibitions. He has been the recipient of the Hohenberg Travel Grant, two Mercedes Matter Awards and was a National Parks Artist-In-Residence at Catoctin Mountain Park. Edmond teaches studio classes and lectures regularly in-person and online. He is a member of Zeuxis: An Association of Still Life Painters and is currently represented by Tregony Gallery in Cornwall, UK, First Street Gallery in New York City and Peterson Contemporary in Bend, OR.
