Wentworth Tradd

Wentworth Tradd was born in South Carolina. He has had many jobs, but painting is the one that suits him best. “You don’t have to get up too early and you can do other things at the same time, like drinking and talking, as long as you pay attention to which is your drink and which is your brush water.” He paints on salvaged plywood with an assortment of paints. “I like to get the quarts from the Home Depot when somebody decided they didn’t like that color. Me I like all colors, especially when it’s a dollar a quart.”
