Helen Bradley 

Born in Lees, a village outside Oldham, in 1900, Helen Bradley was over sixty when she began painting - to show her small granddaughter what life was like when she herself was a child. 

Helen Bradley's work is in astonishing demand "The Edwardian era was lovely, gay, and exciting, and I love painting it", she said, "even the weather was kinder".  Her bright teeming pictures and her delightful narrative reflect that gentle period.  The same loved characters make their appearance: three maiden aunts with their sweeping skirts, their friend Miss Carter (who wore pink), Mr Taylor the Bank Manager, and the dogs Gyp and Barney. 

Primitive in style and idyllic in mood, Mrs Bradley's paintings are as accomplished as they are imaginative.
