Coll[a]ge Artist
Spiritually-Modern
Bring home a collage that captures Tucson’s spirit and timeless symbols—art that inspires reflection, uplifts your space, and nurtures your soul.
Alchemical Art Collection
Ancient wisdom, reborn in collage-art to awaken, heal, and transform.
Bradford's digital collage art transforms ancient wisdom into living symbols. Each canvas—layered with overlapping imagery and visual metaphor—embodies one of the Seven Hermetic Principles: the mind as creator, the mirror of inner and outer worlds, vibration as the language of energy, the dance of opposites, the cycles of rhythm, the law of cause and effect, and the harmony of masculine and feminine. Together, they form a map of self-awareness and cosmic wholeness.
These works are not simply to be viewed, but experienced—visual anchors for reflection, healing, and awakening. Let a giclée canvas or premium paper print call to you; invite it into your space, and allow its symbolism to guide your inward journey. Each piece is both art and practice, an aesthetic companion to aid your subconscious mind in your psychological transformation..

Awaken the Divine Within
This portfolio invites viewers to move beyond surface aesthetics and engage art as a focused inquiry into wholeness, polarity, and the necessity of natural masculine and feminine dynamics in both personal life and society. Through concept-driven collage works, the series explores the divine and shadow aspects of masculinity and femininity as living archetypes—energies that shape self-worth, intimacy, responsibility, and relational balance within every individual. Grounded in personal experience and cultural critique, the work challenges modern distortions that undermine these forces while offering each piece as a visual practice for reflection, healing, and conscious integration. By encouraging the reclamation of healthy masculinity or femininity, while honoring nuance and self-acceptance, this portfolio positions art as a catalyst for growth rather than passive commentary. The works currently available embody this vision, and acquiring one brings a lasting reminder of balance, self-respect, and aligned polarity into your daily environment.

KLEMMER
Spiritually Modern, Collage Artist
Rooted in wide-open landscapes and a lifelong search for meaning, Bradford is an emerging digital collage artist whose work bridges visual innovation with introspective depth. His practice — born from long walks through desert terrain and an intuitive engagement with light, color, and form — has evolved into a distinct visual language that invites collectors to see the inner world reflected in outer space.
Bradford’s journey as an artist began in earnest in 2008 with The Desert Abstraction Project, a portfolio that captured the poetic energy of Southwestern landscapes through layered digital collage. At the time, he was guided less by formal training and more by a profound spiritual connection with nature, a passion for photography, and an unfiltered creative urge. Over the years, that initial impulse deepened into a sustained exploration of consciousness, transformation, and the aesthetic embodiment of inner experience.
A transformative meditation practice that began in 2013 — rooted in daily mindfulness work with Holosync binaural audio — expanded Bradford’s artistic perspective. This practice enriched his thematic focus and gave rise to a body of work where psychological insight and spiritual symbolism are inseparable from visual form. Each piece transcends technique alone, becoming a reflection of introspection, heart-opening, and a continuous path toward coherence and connection.
Today, Bradford’s evolving practice encompasses The Tucson Public Art Project and accompanying upcoming educational video series designed to engage audiences with the principles of art and design as well as the stories behind his work. Inspired by rigorous study of foundational visual principles, his pieces now balance refined compositional command with layered conceptual significance — making each work a conversation between aesthetics and insight.
Alongside his studio work, Bradford is pursuing professional credentials to become a licensed Art Therapy Practitioner and a Self-Love Coach. Through these complementary paths, he aims to help others use creative engagement as a tool for self-reflection, healing, and personal evolution.
For collectors, Bradford’s art is more than a visual experience — it is an invitation to engage with the landscape of the soul, to explore inner horizons, and to own work that resonates with meaning long after the first glance.
“I create concept-driven digital collages that serve as mirrors—artworks designed to spark awareness, compassion, and self-love in spiritually minded people.
My Mission is to offer museum-quality giclée canvas prints of visual poetry that transform looking into healing through their profound symbolic meanings.
My Vision is a community where art and psychology intersect: guided sessions and interactive workshops that help others create therapeutic art and crafts through their medium of choice, translating inner wisdom into conscious awareness and daily action.

Artist Statement: The concept is crucial, and the imagery selected must help speak the intended message. I compile my own selected photographs, do keyword image searches, or occasionally create pictures with a.i. to find the proper collection of images to mix. I illustrate an eclectic array of thought-provoking subjects through the unique art of digital collage with Photoshop. My use of color and compositional arrangements may be realistic or suggestive. I work with the symbolism of objects and archetypes and the abstract shapes and textures created by overlapping each image. I digitally stack and blend many graphic layers, masking and revealing specific details that tell visual stories.
The Desert Abstraction Project
A Metaphysical Journey of Self-Discovery
This art project and written biography presents a deeply personal spiritual philosophy that frames human life as an ongoing journey of self-discovery, transformation, and conscious creation. Using the Sonoran Desert of Tucson as both metaphor and teacher, it explores the idea that all existence is unified through consciousness, love, and divine intelligence, drawing connections between spirituality, quantum physics, and personal responsibility. It emphasizes open-minded inquiry over rigid belief systems, the balance of opposites as essential to growth, and the power of thoughts, emotions, and actions in shaping one’s reality. Ultimately, it affirms that faith is trust in oneself, love is the true essence of the divine, and fulfillment comes from self-acceptance, intentional choice, and living in alignment with both intuition and purpose.
