In House With Maiden, Katherine Bradford captures the tension between home and transcendence. A solitary figure stands beside a house under a surreal sky—its floating, saturated ovals hovering between clouds and symbols. The scene feels both intimate and dreamlike, balancing the security of home against the pull of imagination.

Bradford’s work blends figuration and abstraction, often using color as emotional temperature. Her characters float, watch, and wait, suspended in open fields of feeling. Here, the “maiden” might be muse, guardian, or alter ego—a presence that echoes Dalí’s depiction of Gala in The God of the Bay of Roses. Yet where Gala becomes a divine icon, Bradford’s figure remains human, vulnerable, and alive within her own interior world.
