About Brad

Although I’ve been a working advertising and catalog photographer for most of my life in NYC and New Mexico, in 2014 I made a break for it, sold all my camera gear and began to paint abstracts. After ten years of self-instruction and experimentation, as of 2024 I have moved solidly into a style I love and consider my own, and I am happily continuing to create these works.
