Priscilla Coote

Priscilla Coote is a tonalist in a colorist world. Immersed in the saturated hues of the Florida Keys, she distills from it something entirely different from the common perception, creating a “parallel universe” of mood and an atmosphere of an earlier time.

After living and painting in the Keys for many years, Priscilla has succeeded in marrying the somber with the saturated; the shadows of old wood with the neon electricity of sunlit water, to create her unique expression of this idyllic environment. She is able to unify her tonalist’s love of deep shadow and variety of values with the brilliance of her sunlit surroundings, in a way uniting our present existence with the whispers of the past.

Priscilla was chosen this year as one of the select participants in Plein Air Easton, a national painting competition and show, and has recently won the Wallis Award for Pastels in a national exhibition, in addition to holding a long-standing string of other First Place and Best in Show awards. Her work is represented in collections across the Americas, and in Mexico and Europe.
