Jean Bradbury: We Are Alone Bookmark

Jean Bradbury (Canadian, b. Britain 1963)
We Are Alone. We Are Not Alone., 2010

For Jean Bradbury, her painting of a snowshoe hare in winter helped crystalize her decision to portray realistic animals. “I used to invent plants and creatures,” she said. “But the accurate depiction of plants and animals is still not the purpose of my work—it is just the language I use to tell the story. The animals represent me, or you the viewer, surrounded by a world of emotion.”
