Katherine Bradford

Katherine is a writer and landscape painter working in California and the Southwest. She studied with visual anthropologist John Collier, Jr. at San Francisco State University and at the San Francisco Art Institute, and is a member of SCAPE. She has also enjoyed a career in archaeology, with a particular interest in the Channel Islands. "I'm inspired by the landscapes of places I've lived and worked, including coastal California and the high desert of the Southwest. Underlying my paintings are questions about what happened there in the past and how should we protect these unique places for the future."

"The Portraits of the Central Coast" project is a wonderful way to help celebrate our extraordinary neighbors and their day to day contributions, providing a sense of the unfolding history of our region, and illustrating the connections between all of us. I'm a longtime fan of Holli's work -- her approach to portraiture echoes the masters of past centuries and her project will no doubt be a valued resource for generations to come."
