Brad Robertson
Born and raised in coastal Alabama, Brad Robertson was initially inspired by the area's indigenous trees and bodies of water. In his college studies, due to a lack of interest in structure and order, Brad made many less than successful attempts to be an architect, industrial designer, and graphic artist. An art professor discovered his ability to work with color, which sets the tone for his paintings, and texture, which creates depth in his work. Brad has now spent more than a decade working to combine these elements of color and texture in his work to evoke eternal, multi-layered shorelines, landscapes, horizons and portals. When people look at his work and are able to define it in their own terms, Brad feels like the painting has accomplished his purpose.
