#133: Late Bloomers (Katherine Bradford)

In our Late Bloomers series, Jenny Douglas interviews women across disciplines who have found their greatest professional power in their later years.

This month Jenny is in conversation with visual artist Katherine Bradford!

About Katherine:  Born in 1942, Katherine Bradford has only in recent years started receiving her full, unbridled recognition. Bradford blazed her own path in the art world, painting daily, and building a community of likeminded artists in both Maine and New York. At 80, she's at a pivotal moment in her career, creating some of her most thought-provoking paintings and exploring her biography as an artist, woman, mother, and lesbian. Bradford, who splits her time between New York and Maine, is aware of Maine’s long lineage of nautical painting and builds upon the legacies of Marsden Hartley and John Marin, among others, yet her works transform the genre of marine painting into densely packed, metaphorical realms.
