Bradley’s need to be an orator has long passed with youth and idealism.
She no longer pretends to know the answers to things and realizes that her
own journey is often convoluted and gray. Being an artist does not make her
exempt from the daily labyrinth of indecision and obscurity. It does not
allow her to look from the outside in, or from a higher point than others.

It does, however, enable her to express, to speak, to shout and to cry her
feelings, out loud for everyone to probe and to judge.
Bradley was born in Monterey, CA in 1974 and now lives and works in New
York City. She received her education from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art
in Philadelphia, PA and also at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA and
Florence, Italy. Bradley has had solo and group shows throughout California,
New York, Florida, and Maryland.
Bradley’s work will not bring you out of darkness into the light. She cannot make
order out of chaos. She can do nothing, but honestly observe and feel. From those
experiences, she shows you her voice, her battle cries, her scars and her vulnerability.
From her voice you may feel that you are sisters, lovers, cousins, friends. But even
that cannot be the reason in which she seeks the truth. Though she is hopeful in walking
this path with others, her work must be from her own human experience, to seek why she is
here and to return the gift that she has been given.
