Brenda Bournstein Prager (Prager was actually her mother's maiden name which she took later in life) was an artist and a professional photographer. She lived in Berkeley, California in a live/work studio. She curated art shows for the city and was a well loved member of the art community of Berkeley. Previously, she taught photography at UC Santa Cruz. She had three children and two grand daughters with whom she was very close. |
She published a book of photographs and family history around a special pastry that her mother made called Bagela. I have a copy. She put together the booklet of photos and essays for the Hamilton School reunion in 2003. She died in August of that year of stomach cancer.
