Sachiko Bradley is a British/Afro-American painter. Playfulness, soft-yet-unexpected color palettes, and graphic shapes are hallmarks of her painting style. Her art combines themes such as racial identity, geometry, family, and astrology. Her training in vibrational healing gives her work a spiritual tone and energetic vitality. Sachiko was recently featured in the LA Times for her African-inspired hand-painted murals in a downtown LA loft. Born in Kathmandu and raised among artist communities in Nepal, India, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Italy, Sachiko spoke three languages by the time she entered kindergarten and spent her teenage years attending major art shows with her father, the British painter Martin Bradley, in Paris, Barcelona, and around the world. She lived and worked for 30 years in Italy as an artist, creative director, and interior designer. Her international perspective informs her artistic practice, as do the influences of the many artists among whom she was raised. Sachiko lives and works in Los Angeles.
