ARTIST BIO:

Bennett Bradbury was an American genre painter. Focusing almost exclusively on depicting bodies of water in varying tumultuous states, his realistic paintings of coastal scenes in Hawaii and California earned him national acclaim. Bradbury’s works are perhaps most reminiscent of the American Master Winslow Homer’s paintings of churning waves breaking upon the coast, with white frothy peaks and cerulean blue eddies smoothly rendered in oil paint. Born on February 23, 1914 in Wrentham, MA, he was notably the brother of the acclaimed Farenheit 451 author Ray Bradbury. The painter initially worked for Walt Disney studios as a colorist before moving to Laguna Beach to focus on his own artistic career and developing the body of work for which he is best known. Bradbury died on January 11, 1991 in Carmel, CA.
