Prudence studied weaving as a college student. Prudence was admitted into the Mississippi Craftsmen’s Guild in 1980 as a weaver. She has weavings in the permeant collections at St. Philip's Episcopal church in Jackson as well as the GSA Headquarters in Jackson. In about 2008, Prudence was taught basket weaving by Joe Bruneau from Pisgah, North Carolina. Prudence incorporates fabric and other materials into her baskets. The design and size of her baskets are determined by the unique qualities of the materials and the intended use.
