The inspiration for my artwork comes from what I see in the world, the moments in time that seem to slip away quickly.

Mary V. Williams

As a creative explorer dedicated to the technical mastery of classical realism, I look to funnel the “joie de vivre,” the joy of living, into my work. From classical to contemporary, no subject nor media is safe from my spontaneous interest and occasionally quirky and humorous point of view. My creative background includes graphic design and dance.

Frances Joy Bradbury

The art of Frances Joy Bradbury is a reflection of her appreciation of paradox, as well as a love of experimentation, gestural line and texture.
