"Chris Bradley the Artist!"

My love for the arts first began when I was a really young. I remember being captivated by my grandmas doll making. She created beautiful dolls out of porcelain and hand painted all of the features with a very fine detail brush. I would sit and watch her add blush to the cheeks, and eyebrows, and put these awesome glass eyeballs into the dolls head. She would then create the entire outfit, from head to toe, all on her sewing machine. I surely got my creative side from her. My Great Grandmother was a charcoal artist from Mexico and my Great Grandfather was sculptor from Spain. He sculpted statues out of wood and made extremely ornate, hand carved, picture frames. The love of art in my family started many years ago and I try to keep that vision and creativity alive.

Throughout high school and undergraduate study, I received many awards and honors, including student artist of the month at the Red Desert Gallery, Langells Award, Cover winner for Albuquerque Journal, and recognition at the Colorado Institute of Art for "Best of Illustration". My paintings have also been used by Warner Brothers and Hollywood Cinema Arts for decorating stage sets for television shows. My art has also been sold all over the world. With the last few of my sold paintings arriving in Japan and Canada.
