Pen Brady Art

Nearly all of us have childhood early summer memories of fireflies appearing around dusk. "Backyard Lanterns" is a tribute to those fascinating little creatures that light up the night.

One of Pen's earliest paintings, "AeroBison", 1997. The 17" x 13" acrylics and India ink on Strathmore art paper shows the strong influence of the Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations art. What really broke from the traditional tribal stylization was the dimensional aspects of the painting—a background, middle ground, and foreground—not usually found in the indigenous people's art of that region.
