This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Susan Hinckley Greenough Bradley was a landscape painter whose subject
matter was wide ranging geographically including Egypt, Greece,
Tunisia, Italy, Switzerland, France and Ireland, and the United States
including the West. According to a Boston newspaper, she painted
"mountains of western Canada and of Colorado, the Grand Canôn in
Arizona, the streets of New York, and the shores of Massachusetts and
Maine." (Kovinick 27) In 1939, for the 50th Anniversary of
the Boston Society of Watercolor Painters, she exhibited a painting, On the Divide, Santa Fe; and in 1911 at the Artists' Club of Denver, her entry was Grand Canon in Winter.
She was born in 1851 in Boston, Massachusetts and lived there primarily
until 1889, when she moved to Philadelphia. Her parents
were Samuel Lyman and Anne Cutler Hinckley, the sister of
portraitist Robert Cutler Hinkckley, who taught at the Corcoran School
of Art. Her first art lessons were in Rome with Edward Boit
in 1875. However, her planned art career was interrupted with her
1879 marriage to Reverend Leverett Bradley and the raising of four
children. Eventually she resumed her fine art focus, which
included study with William Merritt Chase, Boit in Rome again, Abbott
Thayer and in Boston in 1905 at the School of the Museum of Fine
Arts.
Among her exhibition venues were the Panama Pacific International
Exposition in 1915, Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904, and the
American Watercolor Society in 1902.
Her work is in the
collection of the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis, Indiana.
She was a member of the Society of Independent Artists, Boston
Watercolor Club, Philadelphia Watercolor Club and New York Watercolor
Club.
An article on the artist appeared in the July 1924 issue of the American Magazine of Art, "Susan H. Bradley," by Laura E. Richards. Bradley is also listed in the Dictionary of American Painters, Sculptors and Engravers, by Mantle Fielding, published in 1974 by Modern Books and Crafts.
Susan Bradley died in 1929 in Boston.
