BRAD ALDRIDGE, contemporary landscape painter was born in Japan in 1965. His father's service in the military took the family from Japan to several locations in the US.

Aldridge paints pictures which range from epic to intimate, each evoking an idyllic calm and each imbued with his hopeful vision of the world. He and his wife carefully hand craft each frame on his pictures. Brad Aldridge’s paintings have been featured in many group exhibitions and over twenty-five solo exhibitions. His paintings are represented in private and public collections on five continents including monumental murals in temples for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Japan, Peru, and several locations throughout the United States.
