MARY LEA BRADLEY: AN AMERICAN ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST

American abstract artist Mary Lea Bradley focuses primarily on painting in her extremely prolific body of work. Bradley’s Art is immediately striking.

Her paintings are characterized by a sense of mystery that invites the viewer in. The paintings transport you from reality to a vibrant, mystical world, where you are the story teller, creating and interpreting your own stories.

She’s the kind of artist anyone can talk with. Extremely approachable.

Excited about her newest work but unpretentious about her artistic flair and sophisticated eye. It is imagery filled with an intensity of atmosphere that makes the viewer an insider.

Her pieces attract; you want to know more, where it started, where it’s going. The viewer’s curiosity makes this artist and her work take flight.

Bradley currently lives and works in San Diego, California. Her work can be found in public and private collections throughout the United States and Internationally in Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Sweden, Finland and Spain.
