Helen Bradley Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, b. 1900 - d. 1979

Helen Bradley is a painter who only began creating when she was 65 because she wanted to show her grandchildren what her British childhood looked like. Early Helen Bradley paintings consisted of oil paintings created from written memories of her Edwardian upbringing, often featuring herself, family, and friends. Her later works became less realistic and more fantastical, based more on her childhood stories than memories. Helen Bradley prints, usually signed by the artist, feature her unique style with 2D figures that have no shadows and the use of abundant shades of color.

Painter Helen Bradley's work was first exhibited locally, then in London and abroad in Los Angeles and beyond. She became internationally famous and was featured on many talk shows, and audiences were charmed by her grandma-esque presence. Her pictures inspired the Miss Carter books.
