Lori  Bradley is a contemporary painter working in oil and acrylic on canvas and wood panels. She likes to call her style "alternative realism." She is inspired by traditional realist painters past and present but works with modern themes, colors, patterns, and design styles resulting in a dynamic a merger of contemporary and traditional painting. Most of her paintings are inspired by the natural world. She is interested in the mysterious ways humans interact with nature, and visual mythologies and stories involving nature.

New in 2024! I've created a line of digital collages created from some of my paintings, digital drawings, and my outdoor photographs and am having them printed on large square pieces of translucent pieces of fabric. I'll be creating an installation of this "floating forest" during the Hatch Street Holiday Open Studios in November 2024.
