Helen Bradley was born in Oldham, Lancashire. Attended the local Art School for two terms only in 1914. Started painting seriously in 1960. Her narrative paintings were first exhibited at The Saddleworth Art Society in 1965, followed by a London exhibition in 1966, and a sell out exhibition at the appropriately named Carter Gallery in Los Angeles in 1968.
In 1971 Jonathan Cape published the first of four books "And Miss Carter Wore Pink". This was an instant success. German, French, Dutch and Japanese editions were published, and a special edition produced for the U.S.A. 3 other books were subsequently published, "Miss Carter came With Us"," In The Beginning said Great Aunt Jane" and "The Queen Who Came to Tea". All were very successful.
