Drawn to art since childhood, Bradleigh 'Jack' Hart is a visual artist whose work is heavily influenced by surrealism and its concentration on and exploration of the subconscious. Initially self-taught, Bradleigh went on to work for and learn from landscape painter Woody Gwyn. "I would make paint, stretch canvas, make mediums.. like alchemy.. so I did all the stuff he needed. And slowly he showed me how he did what he did."It was over 20 years ago that Bradleigh made his initial foray into the art world. Showing first in Portugal, where he lived at the time, his work was featured in municipal galleries across the country. After leaving Europe "with the clothes on [his] back", he would be featured in a gallery in Austin, TX, before beginning the next chapter in his life. Now he returns to painting once more.
