My work is about process. Like life, experience adds richness to the result. The layering and texturing represent the chaotic nature of our lives and reflect the way our attentions are continually divided. But in the end, we are able to navigate the information to form a coherent whole and are fulfilled by the journey as well as the destination.

In my work, I leave artifacts of the trip I take on the way to the final solution.I have always been influenced by architecture. My work reflects a strong sense of design and structure. My father worked for Albert Kahn in the 1960’s and taught me to draw in 2-point perspective when I was 10. I received my BFA from Pratt Institute in New York City and worked in advertising and graphic design for many years before taking the leap to fine art.

It has always been my dream to be a painter when I grow up.

'Paradise Cove'

October 14, 2010

Paradise Cove is another name for Thousand Steps beach in Laguna- an idyllic little place if you don't mind the effort. Some collectors of mine treated us to a wonderful dinner and bonfire there one evening! It's pretty rural- like stepping back in time.

There is also a Paradise Cove up in Malibu which is similar to the one in Laguna, only with more celebrities. I happened to see Kevin Bacon running on the beach a couple of times- is that less than six degrees?

Here is a link to an article about my show which features this painting: http://www.ocregister.com/news/bredvik-270620-paintings-one.html
