After becoming an international success as a fashion designer in the 1960s and 70s, Prue returned to her love of painting in the 1980s. She shifted her focus from fashion to painting because she didn't want life to be all about making money and was becoming far more interested in painting. Prue found the art forms to be quite similar. She attended life drawing classes at Swinburne College, and studied painting with Clifton Pugh and Merv Moriarty OAM.
After closing her business in the early 1990s, Prue now works as a professional artist. She has held 10 solo exhibitions and participated in many group shows.
