Flight of the Bergey
I’m not one who usually rides on the back of anything except maybe a horse.
Yesterday, however, I couldn’t pass up a chance to ride through Barcelona on the back of my friend’s scooter during rush-hour.

Bergey
I met Bradley Bergey in Seattle where we worked together for two years at the Children’s Institute for Learning Differences on Mercer Island.
Around the same time, we each moved from Seattle to different parts of the world : I moved to Alaska and he moved to Mexico City. Over the next 4-5 years, we visited each other regular and I had the good fortune of watching him evolve from a naturally gifted painter into a focused and even more talented artist.
To boot, he’s an amazing educator, the kind of teacher I’m jealous his students get to have. World-traveled, intuitive, imaginative, playful and wise beyond his years – he’s a bona fide compliment to the practice.
Recently, Bergey was featured in Art and Letter, a monthly webzine focused on Architecture, Art and Design.
You can read the interview in its entirety here, if you likey.
He’s our pal and we’re very proud of him : )

Bradley Bergey
Bradley Bergey is our good pal who paints like mad. No one is more biased about the work than I am.
I generally think contemporary painting is l a m e but I think Bergey’s work has vision.
Bergey currently teaches history at an international school in Barcelona.
