Barbie Brady is a contemporary painter and sculptor with a flare for romanticizing the mundane. Her inspiration draws directly from a rich personal history of objects and emotions.  Barbie is a Los Angeles based artist with a Hollywood style. Her artwork has been shown in four museums and over 50 professional shows in nine states.

There is a quintessential simplicity to the objects she paints which allows for individual and emotional connections. Barbie comments on her current work by saying, “I can look at a collection of glassware and see my eight best friends. Objects are as personal and expressive as portraits, yet they say different things to different people.” Barbie explores the symbology of objects as people, events, places, and time. Her sculptures are always rich in textures and diverse in materials. She loves the found object and works to evoke emotions such as nostalgia, desire, comfort and humor.
