Katherine Bradford - Making Things

[@ankiking]

Someone who has worked incredibly hard, is kind, supportive of other artists and her family. She is original and creative, and finally in her 70s started getting recognition. A woman with an incredible sense of humor, unpretentious and direct being and I am so thrilled for her success! ❤

[@torildstray6357]

Absolutely! Fearless painter too

[@cpea587]

My sentiments too, you said it better

[@pamsmith3184]

What a refreshing, candid, thoughtful, interview. I especially love the part where she makes the point that she is inventing while she paints, and that she "likes making things." I like what she makes, and am deeply grateful for her paintings.

[@luiscruz5556]

what a phenomenal conversation, thank you

[@JayRoss-d9c]

It sure is!

[@annrubino6252]

Thank you for introducing me to this fascinating artist. At 82, I share her attitude regarding my art making but lack her courage. Much admiration for her and best wishes for continued recognition.

[@lizobasuke8765]

Ahhhh, I love you Katherine Bradford, you are such an inspiration for how to live!!

[@paulaswaydangrebel4126]

KB avoids the bulls##t! Instead answers these questions about being an artist with honestly & truthfulness. She is brilliant and well spoken. I’m inspired . Thank you

[@roxanemontegna9867]

Agree. I get tired of the pretentiousness of most Artists and where they were educated and 5 paragraphs of the meaning of what they do. It's all bullshit. Just do it!

[@roxanemontegna9867]

I'd never heard of her before. Her work reminds me of candid snapshots of how people really are on the inside. Inside photos. She's truthful and real and I like that and her. No pretension which is refreshing.

[@PolymerClayTutor]

Just watching her process made me happy! 😊

[@Bella-d1v9y]

Thank you Ms. Katherine. I am 72. Just found my art too. I don't really paint but I make things using paint and canvas and paper and wood and all kinds of substrates. And I love it. And yes. Making something of value fits right in there too.

[@roxanemontegna9867]

You are an Artist and your soul is telling you! Continue please.

[@TheresaWeinheimer-dm7zi]

I’m 77 going on 78 and Worked as an Architect but in the last ten years or so I started “making things”. Drawing, watercolors, objects and now I’m making mini couture initially for my granddaughter’s mouse and bunny people. I realized that I’ve always wanted to do costumes and Theater design. Actually I’m just having fun and it also it’s therapeutic. Helps me. mourn the loss of my daughter in a positive way.

[@carolbicknell9603]

I love this! I can relate totally…I’m in my 70’s, too. I love her thoughts about her painting relating more to poetry than politics. Yes! Same. I’m a basically self taught but, now “study” with others on KZbin for inspiration! Many great teachers out there!! Thanks for expressing how I feel Katherine!! Love your work! ❤

[@beckycollett917]

I'm in my 70's as well as self taught- totally agree with your path.

[@RoseWood-z9x]

Love Kathy Bradford, love listening to her, she is a breath of fresh air when it comes to making a painting

This one is for all the creatives out there! One of the most inspirational videos I’ve seen in recent days if you need a reminder of why we become artists. 🙂❤️. I’ve re-posted this on my social media feeds as it is so relatable to many artists working today. Katherine is the real deal! Good job Xevolvez

[@betsyday5951]

Oh Katherine! Love your story! I just left the city because I couldn't make a living. I wish I had found you earlier. I relate to you and I would still come back to meet you. I am lost at 71. I felt it was over for me. seeing you makes me feel I am just starting I guess! Betsy

I hope u have found your way I have been lost all my life I’m 56 still trying to me found

[@lialacombe71]

Incredibly relatable!!

[@beckycollett917]

Outstanding interview and delving into KB's take on being an artist. I love her way of not pigeon-holing herself into the "commercial" part of Art for making money only! Self expression through her visions and experiences coming alive on the canvas or any other object that is around! Inspiring.

[@LookCloserIn2]

Really honest and refreshing interview ❤

[@Creativeassemblages]

Just wonderful and thanks for this interview.

[@creativelabspace]

Wow, those old photos of Williamsburg are great! My apartment was the building next to Belinda's Lounge on the second floor

[@donaldwarriner1640]

Wonderful progression of your work and the filming of you in the process. Engaging more and more as you painted. For me the backstory how you came to this point hit in a personal place having lived during the same period of time as you. Although a man, I see the world through the eyes of my mother. Some might call it gender confusion. Maybe once upon a time but now fitting into my skin whether male of female is of little concern. Thank you.

[@cliffdariff74]

Nice talk, down to earth. Intelligent. Spot on.

[@dn7096_]

unusually authentic.

[@poogeasaurus5684]

She is the nicest!!!

[@SouthArtDealer]

congrats on this video clip, extremely engaging and inspirational for artists.. best !!

[@268TERI]

Great interview. What KB says about art is true of life in general, I kept thinking Yeah that's my life but I'm a psychologist. Anyway, the art of living is discussed here, Life = Art = Life

[@berlinartstories]

Thank you, this is so honest and inspiring..

[@vyvienvp3413]

So relatable, thank you!! Wonderful philosophy, wonderful life xoxoxo

[@rachelpetruccilloart]

This artist was so interesting to listen to and I loved hearing her talk about why she wanted the life of an artist, I completelyrelate. The electronic music was so distracting though. Just the sound of her voice and her brushes would have been enough, everything has this same type of music layered in now.

[@corinnapetry65]

Good documentary. Music is unnecessary.

[@arctype_media]

I like music and it’s my documentary but, thanks for your feedback and watching anyway! 🙏🏿

[@DerekHuntArtist]

@@arctype_mediareally enjoyed this interview, especially your editing and music vibe. Nicely paced and engaging 🙂👍🏼

[@hanf9609]

I like the music, I think it & the background noises could just be a tiny bit quieter so as not to distract so much from her voice. ❤

[@leimaniax]

Good documentary. But; Agreed on the music being too loud and distracting. For my senses, it feels like it competes with the voice. Detracting from the art because it’s so present. Maybe just too loud.

[@samcollage7682]

Music not appropriate for the mood. I think anyway. Most music hasn't been matched to the mood.

[@luisaoc7378]

the music and editing on this

WOW I love this film! Beautiful person and so much how it feels for me too! I looked her up and saw her age ..82.. is this a recent film? She really looks younger..

Can you interview more people who made a mark in their field w/o trampling over others to get there? Young people need to see more of this.

How do these artists compete in the global art market place? Do they just sell in NYC?

[@marypartridge5154]

I think its great that this lady enjoys what she does And I think her art is important to her. But im not sure about her style. Only a very few hit the big time in art. But all the other people who love painting are just as important. As they are great supporters of the arts. And artists need support.

This was good up until the point you decided to drown her out with the crappy music.

Absolutely a damper. Wish it could be remixed without so the impact of her words would stand out better.

Tone down the music or lose it, it distracts…. The artist speaking is the focus

the music was such a distraction for me.

[@Vatche-o7g]

Classic example of nepotism and the desperation of an artist for fame and recognition .

[@quuqeemonster]

She donated paintings to help out Planned Parenthood.... what a cause. I would donate to the orangutans before I'd do that.

[@cliffdariff74]

But YOU are not HER. sorry.

[@Vatche-o7g]

You dont become an artist all because the art world accepts you . She was desperate to be a big deal . Sadly this level of mediocrity has infiltrated the art world ..its got nothing to do with vision and everything to do with making the right moves and surrounding yourself with the "right" people
