Robert Brady began his artistic career as a potter. This led him into figurative ceramic sculpture and eventually to figurative wood sculpture. Brady describes the initial shift in media as a risk, but something which made sense due to the warm and receptive nature of both materials. He is very prolific and seems to move effortlessly between pottery, ceramic and wood sculpture,and drawing. After many years as a devoted artist,Brady's imagery morphs, yet remains uniquely distinguishable. He is currently a retired Professor of Art at Sacramento State University in Sacramento and resides in Berkeley, California.
