Collector
Herb Pruzan
Herb and Lucy Pruzan started their visionary art collection as newlyweds some decades ago. As a child, Herb regularly visited museums following his familyÂÂÂs interest in art. With no format art education, Herb trained himself by learning about media, working with art dealers, becoming involved in museums, and making choices along with Lucy. Starting off with a small budget many years ago, often purchasing on time, Herb and Lucy now enjoy a collection of works by leading artists of the Northwest.
