Pratt has lived and worked in Newfoundland for virtually all of his life. The island, its culture, its geography, and its weather has had a strong impact on his work. Pratt’s work is found in essentially every major collection in Canada. He is noted for his austere and formal realistic style, executed in a spare and precise manner.
