Elizabeth Bradford, Painter

Elizabeth Bradford is a native North Carolinian, with deep roots in the rural landscape. Her work often centers on images drawn from her rural community and her family’s century farm in north Mecklenburg County. Her work focuses on intricate formal patterns found in nature, and on the experience of color. Currently her medium is acrylic on canvas. Though representational, her paintings have a strong connection to the traditions of abstraction. She studied art at Randolph Macon Woman’s College, the Universities of North Carolina, and at Davidson College, and recently completed a residency at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and VCCA’s outpost in France, Moulin à Nef. Elizabeth is represented in corporate and private collections all over the United States. She was included in the US State Department’s Art in Embassies Program, which places representative work by American artists in embassies around the world. www.elizabethbradford.com
