[ Graham Braddock Gallery ][ About Graham Braddock ]
[ How I Paint - by Graham Braddock ]

Here’s a little background information about myself- I was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1942.

As I look back over my life, a very obvious unifying thread is my commitment to art and my ambition to produce paintings that bring something of the wonder, beauty and wisdom of God’s creation into today’s world.

I trained and worked initially as a graphic artist, then moved into professional fine art in 1974.

I was successful in winning the Cambridge Art Award twice, and the prestigious Kelliher Art Award twice in consecutive years. In 1976 I founded the Downtown Hilton Gallery in Auckland.

In 1983 I sold the Gallery and since that time have devoted myself to painting and having art prints made of my work.

I particularly enjoy creating “story” paintings that contain partially hidden words or imagery. This encourages the viewer to embark on a voyage of discovery where additional levels of meaning unfold only when the painting is looked at closely.

Most of my paintings are executed in oils, often over the top of other media.

My studio is attached to our home which is on a small farm at Wainui, 40 minutes North of Auckland. My wife and I have 6 adult children, 5 of whom are now married.

Galleries: My paintings are exhibited at Marina Gallery, Whangarei; Peter Reynolds Interiors, Rotorua; Rona Gallery, Wellington and The Gallery of Fine Art, Queenstown.
