Brad Lethaby received a BFA in illustration from Columbus College of Art and Design in 1978. After a successful career in illustration and advertising, he has dedicated himself to fine art portraiture and figurative work since the mid 1990's. He has since added landscape painting to his repertoire. Brad's work has appeared in the prestigious Society of Illustrators Annual and Communications Arts Illustration Annual. He has received numerous Awards of Excellence from these organizations. Brad has been featured in International Artist Magazine's Master Painter's Showcase and Art Renewal Center's International Salon, and has received top honors from the Artist's Magazine and the Portrait Society of America. His paintings have been exhibited several times at the Butler Institute of American Art, and the Erie Art Museum. He has also had solo shows in Erie and New York City. "Painting is my passion and my spiritual connection to nature and creation. I describe my style as painterly realism. ...my goal is to tell a simple story while giving the paint a voice, by letting it show itself. Each new painting is special, from the exciting discovery of a new subject through decisions about light, surface, composition, drawing, color, and paint application...If I can get someone to an emotional level similar to what I feel when I read a good book, listen to a great piece of music or watch an amazing performance, then I feel I've succeeded as an artist."
