Caitlin Bradford is an intuitive abstract painter whose practice is deeply rooted in play. She creates games for herself, making various rules to constrain and enable her creative process.

Bradford's preparation, planning, and translations result in color combinations that spark her interest and curiosity by creating unforeseen results. Her paintings lean into concepts of imperfection and messiness, accentuating irregularity, and soft geometry.

Bradford received a BFA from the University of Iowa in 2015 and an MFA in painting and drawing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2022. She currently makes her home and studio in Minnesota.
