Marybeth Bradbury creates semi-abstracted figurative work of imagined characters in colorful, contemporary, distorted paintings. Marybeth entered this life as a creative spirit and grew to be a self-taught artist. After raising her three children, she pursued a visual arts program at Empire State College in Rochester, NY, then left  her career in the corporate world to pursue her art full time. Since then she has participated in many group exhibitions, held solo shows and been awarded several grants and residencies to further her creative efforts.  She is primarily a painter, though she is also a skilled seamstress, bookbinder, fiber artist and encaustic artist.
