Invited Emerging ArtistsTrained and triumphant in ceramics, Brady took a risky segue into wood and now enjoys a rewarding career in two media.
California-based Robert Brady has spent a lifetime exploring the similarly warm and receptive yet distinctly different mediums of clay and wood. Born in Reno, Nevada, in 1946, Brady credits his "crafts" high school teacher, Tom Tucker, as the most important influence on his career. "Without his guidance I am quite sure I would not have had a future in the arts." Encouraged to pursue his fascination with clay, Brady attended the California College of the Arts in Oakland (B.F.A. 1969), before entering the University of California, Davis, receiving an M.F.A. in 1975. Since that year he has taught at California State University, Sacramento, where he is a professor of art.
