The Artist's Story

Mary Bradley is an award winning artist and native of Ridgewood New Jersey. She now resides in Wayne NJ. Mary began her study of painting with the Ridgewood Art Association. She studied under Alan Alberts and a number of other instructors as a young adult.  She continued her studies as she minored in art while attending Westbrook College in Portland Maine.  Mary refocused her interest in the arts to photography with the goal of someday painting from her own photography. Her favorite subjects took her to Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. She enjoyed seeing her New York City works displayed in serval galleries in lower Manhattan.  She recently decided it was time to return to her first love of capturing the beauty and light of her photographs on to a canvas.  Mary has most recently found support and guidance from Michael Malzone at the Creators Workshop in Wayne, NJ.
