Katherine Bradford lives and works between Williamsburg, New York City, and Brunswick, Maine. She is a self-taught painter known for exploring the complexities of loneliness, agency, gender roles, and consciousness. We love the way she builds up the surfaces of her paintings and incorporates colour-field backdrops. She has said: “What interests me the most is the language of painting -- how people are able to say things using paint.”
