She currently lives on the Hood Canal in Washington. She is the sister of BMCC President Cam Preus. “I am very excited to have Priscilla’s paintings featured in our gallery,” Cam Preus said. “I’m so proud of her work and am such a fan, and it’s really special to be able to show off her talents in our gallery and with our local community.” The show runs through Wednesday, June 3.
