Bradley Short
Bradley Short has been strongly influenced by DJ Hardy, Ray Crook, Tom McAulay, and other seascape and landscape painters from North Queensland. Having studied under Annika Silvers and Barbara Cheshire, both influenced and changed his approach to painting. For years Bradley worked on a series of Eungella Rainforest paintings. Going on the Larapinta exhibition allowed him to use a different palette from the usual rainforest and seascape colours.
Bradley enjoys the authenticity of painting ‘plein air’ – stating “I find I can work in the elements depicting the landscape with guts and feeling. I like to use strong marks, and my passion is to be able to accurately paint the light that defines a landscape.”
Bradley Short was the winner of Art on Show in 2018 and has exhibtied in Milton House Gallery and other prominent art galleries across Australia for the past 20 years. Bradley Short owns and manages Milton House Gallery.
