ARTIST BIO: JR Bradshaw, a V+V artist, has been with V+V since 2011 and during that time he has reacquainted himself with artmaking practices. He works in ceramics, wood burning, painting, illustration, and dabbles in paper mache. JR enjoys experimenting with new media and music is regularly part of his studio process. A subject of focus for him is often the idea of home and landscapes because as a child his mother was a realtor and he spent a good deal of time with her traveling to and from houses.
