A fifth-generation New Mexican, Brad Bealmear lived for over 20 years in NYC as a photographer before returning to the high desert of Santa Fe. He sold his camera gear in 2014 to concentrate entirely on painting. This transition marked a new chapter in his artistic journey, one driven by a desire to express his reflections on humanity and its impact on our planet and its ecosystems.
Through his paintings, Brad aims to foster a dialogue on our shared responsibility towards the earth, while also celebrating the beauty and resilience of life. He invites viewers to engage with his work and consider the interplay between our existence and the world around us.
