BRAD HORE ARTIST
Art wasn’t always something Brad was interested in, that was his brothers forte, but when COVID-19 hit in 2020, Brad’s normally outgoing and extroverted nature needed an outlet. During this time his mental health struggled and art became a way to provide a precision type focus and connect to country when the state was locked down. Since Brad started Brad’s digital and canvas art work can be found in government sporting bodies, universities, on apparel and uniforms, in businesses and peoples homes. Each piece is commissioned to tell an individual story, unique to the owner, business and community.
