Maine painter Barbara Ernst Prey’s iconic painting “Parade Route,” pictured above in black and white, has been selected by the U.S. State Department’s Art in Embassies Program for exhibit at the U.S. Embassy Residence in Hong Kong.

The painting depicts Maine’s Great Schooner Race off in Rockland. A new print release of “Parade Route” is currently on exhibit and available for the first time at Barbara Prey: The Print Show at Blue Water Fine Arts in Port Clyde, which runs through July 20.

An acclaimed contemporary landscape painter, Prey has received many honors and her original works have been shown at embassies worldwide such as Paris, Madrid, Oslo, Prague, Hong Kong, Minsk and Mali. Her prints are also on display in many U.S. Embassies and Consulates worldwide including Prague, Seoul, Baghdad, Abu Dhabi, Bogotá, Mexico City, Athens, Cairo and Rangoon.

The Arts in Embassies Program presents the works of influential American artists to a broad, international audience. Last July, her painting “The Collection” was selected by the U.S. State Department as the cover image for all invitations sent out by every U.S. Embassy and U.S. Ambassador worldwide for their Independence Day celebrations at their respective Embassies.

Prey has studios in New York, Massachusetts and Maine, where she has worked and exhibited for several decades. She is an adjunct faculty member at Williams College.
