Artist Statement
Barbara Brady
My work has evolved in style and form and is essentially a narrative of personal experiences. In these paintings, each brush stroke is part of a story, expressing emotion and vitality. My work is rooted in memory, explicitly gestural and more complex materially, incorporating paper, plastic, cardboard and other materials. It is through the process of experimentation with technique and materials that I continue to explore the expressive potential of abstract painting.
I received a B.F.A. (1980) from Rosemont College and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1980-82). My work has appeared in solo and group exhibitions, national juried shows and in galleries throughout Maine and Pennsylvania. My work is held in private collections internationally.
