Among the maple trees and rolling hills of Vermont you may on occasion see painter Reed A. Prescott III. One of New England’s premier artists, Prescott is often found studying his native Vermont before he gives the images life on the canvas. As a painter, Prescott’s work has received much acclaim and can be found in private collections world wide.

          The first Vermont Artist to win the prestigious Vermont Duck Stamp Competition, Prescott has often been called "an artist’s artist," because of the unique vibrancy created in his work. Recently his oil paintings are receiving acclaim throughout the country. Prescott's painting "Colors of Lake Champlain at Basin Harbor" appears on the 2007 calendar produced by CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between Snecma of France and General Electric’s Jet Airplane Division.  CFM, the world's largest jet engine manufacturer produces a calendar each year with artwork from countries it has representation at.  The calendar is distributed worldwide. Prescott's painting will represent the United States of America in August of 2007.

          His work has been used commercially for numerous projects. Prescott's painting "Waiting for Winter" currently is the background image for a debit card created by a regional bank. His pen and ink illustrations appear on Birding Trail signs in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Work has turned up in national magazines, posters for regional flower shows and concerts, and calendars.

          Prescott wrote a section in the North Lights Book "How to Paint With Water-soluble Oil Paints", and his painting "Twin Maple Farms" was selected by the Vermont Department of Agriculture as the image of Vermont Agriculture.

          He is the 2006 recipient of the Friends of the Middlebury College Museum of Fine Arts “Professional Artist of Distinction” award for his work in the arts within his community. An Inspirational Speaker for numerous art related events he gives workshops on the business side of art to help other creative people learn how to make a living doing what they love. He has illustrated ten books, including "Owls” by Floyd Scholz and “Floyd Scholz Birds of Prey”, perhaps the definitive study of raptors. Prescott also illustrated books for naturalist writer Ron Rood whose capstone examination of the Vermont wilderness and the New England coast (Ron Rood’s Vermont and Beachcombers All) each have over 100 of his pen and ink illustrations.

A graduate of the School of the Worcester Art Museum, Prescott family has lived in Vermont since the 1750's having fought in both the French and Indian and the Revolutionary Wars. He lives in the foothills of the Green Mountains in Lincoln, Vermont, with his wife Lisa and two sons Isaac and Spencer.
