關於
弗吉尼亞·布拉德利 (Virginia Bradley) 是一位畫家和教育家，在 邁阿密大學獲得藝術學士學位，在南佛羅里達大學獲得藝術碩 士學位; 她在整個職業生涯中獲得了許多資助、獎學金和公共 藝術委託，並在美國和國外廣泛展出。
布拉德利將繪畫視為一種煉金術，利用油畫、海水和酒精來獲 得發光層和無與倫比的紋理。 她的過程的不可預測性喚起了自 然世界的野性和無盡的發明。 她最新的珊瑚系列(包括展出的 作品)的靈感來自波多黎各西南部普拉亞聖灣的珊瑚礁。 正是 這種靈感，以及由此產生的脆弱與活力的獨特結合，賦予了這 些作品驚人的力量。
Virginia Bradley is a painter and educator who received her BFA from the University of Miami and her MFA from the University of South Florida; she has received many grants, fellowships, and public art commissions throughout her career, and has exhibited widely throughout the United States and abroad.
Bradley views painting as a form of alchemy, utilizing oil painting, sea water, and alcohol to attain luminescent layers and inimitable textures. The unpredictable nature of her process evokes the wildness, and endless invention of the natural world. Her most recent series, Corallium (which includes the pieces on display) was inspired by the coral reefs of the Playa Santa Bay in southwest Puerto. It is precisely this inspiration, and its resulting unique mixture of fragility and vitality, which imbues these works with astonishing power.
