Brad is an artist based in San Antonio. Originally from Florida, Brad earned a Master’s in Architecture in Chicago, which laid the foundation for a deep appreciation of design and craftsmanship. After many years working in the architecture field in San Antonio, Brad expanded his passion for creative expression by opening Breva Creative Makerspace with his partner Eva. Breva Creative Makerspace is a thriving community hub dedicated to art and innovation, with a full woodshop, ceramic studio, printmaking studio, and digital fabrication lab. Brad teaches many art classes in the makerspace and uses his downtime to create art and expand his skills.
Brad’s journey into art began in high school with woodworking. This sparked a lifelong passion for hands-on creation. While studying architecture, he discovered a vast world of artistic mediums, which led him to explore stained glass, watercolor painting, 3D printing, laser cutting, cyanotype printing, and many other creative disciplines. With a desire to continuously learn new things, Brad also experiments with the makerspace’s antique printing press, screen printing, and a new dark room setup when he has time.
