Bio

Barbie Brady is an artist living and working in Long Island, NY.

Brady’s art is autobiographical in nature but tends to focus on personal and feminist issues. Fond of repetitive processes, she is inclined to spend 3 months hand-hooking a rug, or using 150 ft of shredded nylon rope in one sculpture. Brady plays with texture and innuendo, symbolism and language to create some of her most successful pieces. Her nostalgia for objects allows her to paint still life portraits of things, layering meaning and emotion onto the inanimate.

After spending years as an event producer, she has transitioned into making custom artwork for events such as candy portraits, or logo rugs. You can reach out to her for commission work at barbie5x5@yahoo.com.
