Artist Elizabeth Bradford (born 1950) has spent fifty years diligently working in North Carolina, capturing the beauty and fragility of the landscape she cherishes. A frequent hiker and kayaker, Bradford finds serenity and comfort outdoors even as she is both aware of and disturbed by the effects of encroaching development and climate change. Her works, wrought with vibrant colors, invite viewers to consider the vulnerability of the natural world.
Bradford studied art at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Charlotte, and at Davidson College. She has participated in artist residencies at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Amherst, Virginia; Moulin à Nef, Auvillar, France; Skopart Foundation, Skopelos, Greece; and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
The artist’s work has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Cameron Art Museum, Wilmington; Blowing Rock Art & History Museum; the University of North Carolina at Charlotte; and at Davidson College, all in North Carolina; and at Hood College, Frederick, Maryland. Bradford’s work is included in museum, corporate, and private collections across the United States.
