Kevin Bradley was born in Greeneville, Tennessee in 1963. Bradley first experimented with printmaking while studying graphic design and painting in the late 80s and early 90s at the University of Tennessee. By engaging methods and principles from all three disciplines, Bradley formed his own, iconic style. At the culmination of his formal education, Bradley concluded painting was the best vehicle for his creative expression; that printing was an ideal means for mass-production; and that the computer was the devil's work. His work has been instrumental in redefining the idea of contemporary letterpress in America, from his early days at Hatch Show Print in Nashville, to his 15+ year run as the founder of Church of Type in Knoxville, TN.
