In this link he pays tribute to the life of Barbara Bradley, whom I met when a member of the San Francisco Society of Illustrators during our nine years in Sonoma County. Barbara had paid her dues working at the Charles E. Cooper Studios in New York City in the Golden Age of American magazine illustration, working alongside the heavy hitters of that glorious time.
This remarkable woman also had been director of the School of Illustration at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco for 25 years before her fabulous life and that of her husband were cut short in an automobile accident.on 2 May of this year.
