AES Gallery is excited to present collages and drawings by Patricia Bradshaw.
Born in the Bronx, New York, Patricias mother strongly encouraged her to be creative at an early age. As a child, Patricia tried dance, theatre, and music but art is what she truly desired to pursue.
Her hobby of collecting eye-catching headlines, old family photo images, magazines, greeting cards, postcards, handwritten letters and newspapers generated an interest in visually documenting the war in Iraq which she started doing in 2004. War Series includes over 150 collages and in 2010 continues to grow. The subject grew out of a life long interest in photographic journalism and current affairs. The work contains unique found paper items, letters typed on an old typewriter, and office supplies such as paperclips and staples. The medium is basic but the work evokes the harsh realities of war, death, money, politics, greed, and places left in total destruction.
Patricia obtained her Associates Degree with honors in Applied Science at Elizabeth Seton College/Iona College in New Rochelle, NY and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Studio Art, and a Psychology minor from Herbert H. Lehman College in the Bronx, NY. In 2008 she was commissioned to produce several large scale private lobby paintings in Bronxville, NY. This is her third solo exhibition to date.
