PAIGE BRADLEY
American

When Paige Bradley was only nine years old, she knew she wanted to sculpt the human figure. Born in Carmel, California she found much inspiration in her own physical strength and in the beauty that surrounded her. Immersed in nature and art, Paige Bradley‘s fascination with the human figure began early in her life. Art classes were just as important to her as basic education classes.

Educated at Pepperdine University, Paige Bradley spent one year in Florence, Italy. During her European travels she was inspired by the Great Masters, however Michelangelo consumed her. She drew inspiration from nearly all of his sculptures, studied his drawings, and realized his own passions for the human form.

Upon returning to the United States, Paige Bradley began an intense three year apprenticeship with world famous sculptor, Richard MacDonald. During her apprenticeship she worked side by side with Richard MacDonald on many wonderful sculptures such as the grand monument for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.

Paige Bradley went on to continue her education at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; The alma matter of Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins, and Robert Henri. Within a year, she won the oldest and most coveted sculpture award in the school‘s history, and was invited to be one of eighteen participants in the National Sculpture Society‘s, “Young Sculptors Competition.” Her work is permanently housed in the American Museum in Philadelphia. Critics say that her work shows the spirit, the passion, and the sensitivity which are the elements of true greatness.

The poise and grace of the female figure captured by Paige Bradley‘s sculptures truly shows talent beyond her years. She renders in bronze beautiful forms that seem as if they could come to life at any moment. Every detail of her exquisite pieces are skillfully and meticulously sculpted and beautifully finished. This has been recently recognized by The National Sculpture Society in New York, when she was elected by their members as a Professional Sculptor Member.
