Helen Bradley Biography

Helen Bradley was born in 1900 in a small village called Lees near Oldham in Lancashire. Whilst young she had a little training in jewellery and embroidery at the local School of Art but did not start to paint until the age of 65. She began to paint to tell her small granddaughter what life was like when she herself was a small girl.

Miss Carter (who wore pink) features in most of Helen Bradley's paintings. Other characters you will find are her mother, grandmother, her three maiden aunts, Mr Taylor (the bank manager) Helen herself with brother George and their dogs Gyp and Barney. Magazine features, appearances on television and radio endeared this Grandma in her sixties to the general public. Helen Bradley awarded the M.B.E. for services to the arts died on the 19th of July 1979 shortly before she was due to receive her M.B.E. from Her Majesty The Queen.
