On View: February 13, 2025— April 09, 2025
Opening Reception: February 13, 2025, 5:30 pm— 7:30 pm

Elizabeth Bradford draws inspiration for her paintings from a profound connection to nature through direct observations while hiking or kayaking primarily in the Southeastern United States where she resides. While her works are predominantly representational, they also maintain a relationship with abstraction.

This exhibition will have a catalogue with essays by Dr. Emily Stamey, Curator of Academic Programming & Head of Exhibitions at Weatherspoon Art Museum; Dr. Leo Mazow, Louise B. and J. Harwood Cochrane Curator of American Art, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; and an interview between Bradford and Tyler Green, award-winning historian and critic who has produced and hosted The Modern Art Notes Podcast since 2011.

Exhibition, programming, and publication are made possible through the generous support of the Wells Fargo Foundation.
