Paige Bradley has been inspired  to sculpt the human figure in bronze  since childhood. Born in Carmel, California the artist found much inspiration in her own physical strength and the surrounding beauty of the Monterey Peninsula. Immersed in nature and art, Bradley's fascination with the human figure began early. Art classes were as important to Bradley as was her basic schooling.

Educated at Pepperdine University, Bradley spent a year in Florence, Italy. During her travels in Europe, the Great Masters offered inspiration, but Michelangelo consumed her. Bradley drew from nearby all his sculptures, studied his drawings and reflected his own passions for the human form.

Returning to the U.S., Bradley began a five-year apprenticeship with world famous sculptor, Richard MacDonald, which included working side by side with MacDonald on such projects as the grand monument for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the monument commemorating the 100th U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.

Bradley went on to continue her education at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; alma mater to Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins and Robert Henri. Within the first year, Bradley won the oldest and most important sculpture award in the school's history and was invited to be one of eighteen participants in the National Sculpture Society's "Young Sculptor's Competition". Her work is permanently housed in the American Museum in Philadelphia.

In 1998, Bradley started her own sculpture studio in her home town of Carmel, exhibiting her sculptures in several galleries around the nation. In 2001, she was voted into the national Sculpture Society as a Professional Sculptor Member. Bradley currently works in her studio in Monterey, CA, drawing and sculpting full-time with live models. Her work is currently exhibited in many galleries around the country.

Even though the figures are sculpted in the classical tradition, Bradley is anything but classical. The artist, uniting psychology and spirituality in her sculpture, explores refreshingly modern realms for her artwork. She is an emerging talent and critics say Paige Bradley's work shows the spirit, the passion and the sensitivity that are elements of true greatness.
