  • "Thank you so very much for the 'perfectly exaggerated scale'. I am so excited with what we are doing. Your art is spontaneous, astonishing, delightful... I could go on and on... it so reflects [my client's] zest for life and personalities. Many, many thanks!"

  • "Bradford has a great studio and display of his awesome work in Downtown Healdsburg on The Plaza. I am impressed by the work he does and his commitment to the brush and palette. Keep it up Bradford."

  • "Brad Brenner is the type of artist you fall for, totally unique and always a trend setter, never a follower. His style and creativity have evolved in wonderful, subtle ways over the years, yet keeping in touch with his identity and what his work has always been about, modern interpretations of people and life. The portrait we own by Brad is a treasured family piece and always with us to enjoy everyday. In this we feel we are not alone among his many admirers." 

  • “I just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying your artwork. I often find myself sitting in the living room just looking at your painting. It is perfect for the room and it makes me very happy.”

  • “Dearest adorable Brad, you are the best! Thank you so much for your generous, loving, heartfelt masterpiece donation. It was so kind of you. You are a dear supporter of Farm to Pantry. We couldn’t accomplish our mission without you. Love you dearly. Many thanks!”

  • “So where do I start...there are so many wonderful artists here in our small community and Bradford Brenner is one of my favorites!!!

    Brad is not only a great artist, but he is also one of the most charismatic business owners on the Square. Jessica, the Gallery Manager and Brad's Better Half, is very knowledgeable and helpful. She conducts business in a no-pressure and calming manner.

    Don't hesitate to walk into the gallery to say hello and view Brad's art. See something you like...don't be shy, make an offer! Brad and Jessica are very accommodating in assisting you to acquiring that "can't-live-life-without" item(s).

    I am very grateful for the pictures that now adorn the walls of my home and bring sheer joy to my heart; but, I am most grateful for the cherished friendship that has evolved with Brad and Jessica!!!!!”

  • "There is not a day that goes by that I don't stop and admire our Blue Haired lady!!!!  I absolutely love it!"

  • “We discovered Bradford's work when we attended a charity event. Bradford had donated a beautiful painting for the auction that night. We loved it and bid until we won. Then loving our painting so much, we commissioned another one. It turned out fabulous! One can own many of his paintings because he is not the kind of artist who churns out the same thing over and over again. He runs his own gallery on the Healdsburg Plaza...go and see him!”

  • "I recommend you do whatever you can to buy, rent or barter for one of Brenner's splendiferous creations. I met Bradford when he opened his one-of-a-kind Studio/Gallery on Plaza Street. I love his paintings. He knows the 'hows' and the 'whys' of what he does. The layers modelled by his loaded brush are like layers of sound you find in a classic Concerto or layers of flavors in a perfect Pinot. The poet Wallace Stevens has a few lines (in "Study of Two Pears") that speak to Bradford Brenner's art: 
    "The yellow glistens. It glistens with various yellows... citrons, oranges, and greens... flowering over the skin... The shadows of the pears... are blobs on the green cloth... The pears are not seen... as the observer wills." I own two of BB's paintings. Lucky me."
