ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

From the Author
It was a pleasure to write this book about Mary Pratt for the Art Canada Institute, and I would like to thank Sara Angel and Anna Hudson for the opportunity. The staff at the ACI were unfailingly helpful and professional, and I would like to thank the team led by Jocelyn Anderson and Michael Rattray for making this book possible. The care and attention from my substantive editor, David Balzer, made this a much better project. Finally, I would like to thank Anne Pratt, Barby Pratt, and the entire Pratt family, for being so helpful and accommodating with this book project, which could not have existed without their support.
