Brad's Portfolio | Visions Art Tour Page | GoBC Page | LinkedIn Profile
Brad has been an avid photographer most of his life and also enjoys a diverse range of interests such as music concerts, nature, landscape, architecture, astrophotography, still life and product photography. Concurrently, he has almost 40 years of experience in computer software programming and marketing. It only made sense that he would combine these two backgrounds in the expression of his art, known as photo-based art.
Brad seeks to create artwork that intrigues the mind, piques the imagination or stirs an emotion by juxtaposing contrasting visual elements, including faces, common objects, buildings and abstract shapes. His raw materials are photographic images and computer pixels. The computer is used both as a darkroom and as a canvas for creating compositions from these materials. Brad won two awards and one honourable mention in his first year of exhibiting his work. In 2007, his piece "Wings" was selected by Common Ground 2008 for their International Touring Collection associated with the China Olympics in 2008.
Brad is also a graphics and book designer. His portfolio includes the design of the currency for the Chemainus Monetary Foundation, Big Game Records of British Columbia, Chemainus Festival of Murals Society official mural guide and brochures, maps and signs for the Chemainus BC BIA.
Brad is currently the Treasurer and Media Liaison for the Ladysmith Camera Club.
