My work explores the tension between control and spontaneity, using color, texture, and negative space to create dynamic compositions. Layers of pigment interact with untouched white oil paint, allowing each piece to evolve organically. Informed by my background in textile design, my paintings echo the rhythmic structures of woven patterns and the fluid unpredictability of traditional dyeing techniques. Through this process, I seek to evoke a sense of movement, depth, and quiet resonance.
Anna C. Brady (b. 1982, Atlanta, Georgia) is a painter whose practice is rooted in abstraction and material exploration. She holds a BFA in Textile Design from the University of Georgia and studied traditional Japanese fiber arts in Kyoto, focusing on Yuzen, Katazome, and Shibori techniques. Her background as a colorist and photographer informs her approach to painting, where she balances structured composition with intuitive gesture. She continues to develop her practice through a dialogue between painting & textiles.
