Artist bio: 

Each work by Prokop tells a compelling story, often based on personal experience or emotions. Common themes are vulnerability, struggle, endurance, and triumph—and she is able to communicate, on a universal scale, the intimate aspects of life. Many of her works are metaphorical and present the viewer with a dual significance. The first is a simple message immediately understood; the second portrays a more powerful interaction. Prokop’s artistic goals are fulfilled when a profound, enduring expression connects the viewer to their own memories and emotions.

Sculpture continues to be Prokop’s medium of choice because it demands her talents be used to capacity, but she has recently returned to oil painting as well, a passion from her youth. The combination of these artistic expressions has sparked a surge of creative energy. “I feel as if I am just beginning as an artist,” Prokop says, “and I especially feel that way now. I’m looking for new heights of creative excellence.”
