Biography from Galerie Plein Aire:
| Cyndra Bradford:
I grew up in Big Sur, on Partington Ridge. Both of my parents are
noted artists. Growing up under the easel, my five siblings and I
had as much paper and art materials as we could use. In Big Sur
we had no TV reception and spent our time creating and reading.
My father Howard Bradford, taught me the craft of serigraphs and at
eighteen I had dealers throughout the USA and by the age of twenty
four, I became a member of the Carmel Art Association.
Horses were always a passion for me, I drew them on everything as a
child but when I became a professional artist I only painted
landscapes. I opened Galerie Plein Aire in 1999 to promote a
group of plein air artists known as the Informalists. As I worked
in the gallery full time I was not able to get outdoors to paint plein
air so I began to paint oils of horses using what I learned painting
landscapes, capturing the grace and power of the horse using bright
colors and loose brush work. When I’m not painting or working I’m
out riding my Morgan gelding Harley with my dog Jake in the sand dunes
of Fort Ord. Galerie Plein Aire is located on Dolores Street
between 5th & 6th, Carmel CA
P.O. Box 267 Carmel, CA 93921 831-625-5686 www.galeriepleinaire.com
