Bradley Flora - October 2018

Bio:

Bradley Flora is a photographer by trade who began his study of acrylic painting as a method to expand his visual vocabulary. Born and raised in Colorado, he moved to the midwest to serve as a caregiver for his terminally ill uncle. He is an advocate for conflict resolution through open communication and clean water. He lets his studio wastewater evaporate and wishes humanities collective traumas more easily did the same.

Artist Statement:

I wanted to make art that encourages divestment from the viewer's preconceptions, but that's not really my job. Instead, I make art that is cathartic and supports my own emotional evolution. To that end, this became a series of paintings about healing the self before trying to help others.
