Kay Bradner is highly respected artist in the Bay Area and beyond, especially for her extraordinary skills as a printmaker. Few artists are as accomplished in the art of intaglio printmaking.  In 1974, Bradner established Katherine Lincoln Press in San Francisco. The press was named for her grandmother whom she admired greatly.

Bradner was born in Foxboro, Massachusetts. She attended Oregon State University where she studied geology. She soon realized that it was not just the logic of landscapes that engaged her, but the beauty of them; in her words, Beauty informed by logic. She turned her focus to making art. She received her Masters in Fine Art from the CCAC (California College of Arts and Crafts) in 1975. Bradner has taught at at CCAC, UC Davis and The San Francisco Art Institute.
