Born in Belfast in 1936. In his early twenties a discussion with Maurice Wilks, a family friend, persuaded him to turn his artistic talents towards architecture –“get professional letters after your name young man, the life of a full time artist is far from clever”. Given this advice, Bradshaw qualified as an
architect from the Architectural Association, London. Throughout his busy professional career he never lost sight of his first love – painting.
In 1992, he exhibited his work in the McGilloway Gallery, Derry, with immediate and dramatic results.
During the next two years he firmly established himself and the steady increase in demand for his work led him to taking early retirement in June 1995 so that he could devote all his time and energy to painting.
He presently works from a home based studio in Omagh, Co Tyrone. Bradshaw’s motivation to paint stems from his great love of the natural world and the unique and ever changing nature of the Irish countryside. He currently paints in oil, watercolour and acrylic media.
He has held exhibitions at the “No Boundaries” exhibition in Boston, at the request of the Mayor, Mr.Thomas Menino. He has been commissioned by Derry, Limavady, Strabane, Omagh and Donegal Councils to paint for their Municipal Collections or for presentation to local or visiting VIP’s. He has exhibited in both the North and South of Ireland and also in the USA. Bradshaw paintings can be found in private collections throughout Ireland, Europe, USA, Canada and much further afield. |
