Don Bradshaw was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1961. He grew up on its outskirts, amidst the new contrasting desert and farmlands. Prior to receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and printmaking, Don Bradshaw traveled the southern states, living in Arkansas and Texas.
Don Bradshaw has conceived his unique landscape scenes by blending planes of color and shading. This blending results in a soft image that carries the viewer's eye along rolling hills, groves of trees and sweeping horizons.
Some of the permanent collections in which Don Bradshaw's work resides include the Arizona Commerce Bank, Sanger-Harris in Tucson, the Arizona Cancer Center, United Bank Plaza-Phoenix, Pride Oil Company-Texas, and the General Texas Corporation-Dallas
Screen-printing is the most painterly of the printing techniques. It allows the use of layer upon layer of color, exploiting line and mass in bold ways.
The inks can be printed as rich impastos or thin transparent glazes. The result is a print that is both vivid in hue and displays a rich tactile surface.
