Katherine Bradford (b. 1942, New York, NY) paints vibrant canvases that place characters, including mothers, superheroes, and swimmers, in abstract fields of saturated and sumptuous color. She started painting at the age of thirty while living in Maine and was among the group of artists who moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the 1980s. She has exhibited widely at institutions such as MoMA PS1, New York; the Brooklyn Museum; the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, TX; Crystal Bridges Museum, Bentonville, AR; Prospect 4, New Orleans US Biennial, LA.

Her work is included in collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Brooklyn Museum; Musee d’Art Moderne Paris, the Dallas Museum of Art; and the Menil Collection, Houston TX.

Bradford is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Joan Mitchell Grant. She has taught at institutions such as the Yale School of Art, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia. A recent monograph, Katherine Bradford: Paintings, was published by Canada in 2018.
