Mary Pratt - Biography

Mary Pratt was born in 1935 in Fredericton, New Brunswick. She is one of Canada's most respected realists. In 1957 she married Christopher Pratt a well-known painter and printmaker. They settled in Salmonier, Newfoundland, in 1963. Pratt graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, in 1961.
Pratt was the daughter of Harvard-educated attorney William J. West, who served as the Minister of Justice of New Brunswick from 1952 to 1958 and Katherine West (born MacMurray). She had a younger sister, Barbara West Cross. She was strongly influenced by her maternal grandmother, Edna McMurray, who was the co-founder of the first IODE chapter in New Brunswick and served as its activist president for over 20 years. Politically, Pratt was a Conservative with a Red Tory bias.

Pratt attended Mount Allison University, studying Fine Arts under Alex Colville, Ted Pulford, and Lawren P. Harris. In her second year, she met the artist Christopher Pratt while they were both students there; they married on September 12, 1957. Immediately after, they moved to Scotland, where Christopher had been accepted to the Glasgow School of Art. Her first two children were born there. In 1961, they moved back to Newfoundland, where she completed her Bachelor in Fine Arts.
In 1964, they moved to Salmonier, in rural Newfoundland, so Christopher could continue painting. Years later, they moved to St. Catherines, St. Mary's Bay, a small community south of St. John's. They had four children: John, Anne, Barbara, and Edwyn (Ned). She and Christopher separated in 2004.
