artist. designer. storyteller.

When you work with me, you work with me. No interns, project managers or outsourced creativity — just you and me, working together as creative partners and problem solvers to propel your vision forward.

Welcome to Bloomerang Studios, where art and design meet community power.

I’m Carol Bradbury. As a solo entrepreneur, I thrive on collaborating with my clients to showcase their distinctiveness to the world. Why work with me? My clients tell me that what I bring to the table is hard to put their finger on. But, as Connie Gibbons, the Director of the Mulvane Art Museum shared, “

“Carol has that unique ability to listen and understand your vision, then visually articulate the essence of a project, bringing it to life and imbuing it with immediacy.”

I hope this website will be a wellspring of inspiration, providing you with valuable insights into the tangible benefits of community-based art and great brand/design.

I’d love to hear your story and discover how we can harness the power of you and your team to propel your business or organization towards success.

In Carol Bradbury, the artist’s quest for meaning thrives alongside the designer’s eye for form, function and clarity.
She is the founder of BLOOMERANG, a collaborative art experience that celebrates community connection. Her process builds awareness of a community’s diversity while helping to shape its creative identity.
Her workshop facilitation helps participants tap into their imagination more readily and experience flow. To create the final designs, the artist works with the collective contributions of participants as a foundational medium, like a musician sampling sounds for making music.
The compositions are then transformed into glass walls, interior signature artworks and exterior signage that reflect a big-picture portrayal of individual and community connection.
As a branding expert who has worked nationally and internationally for over 30 years, Bradbury has brought her creative energy to big names like Microsoft, Kodak International and Lufthansa Airlines.
As president of Bloomerang Studios LLC she helps communities, startups and small businesses bring their visions and brands to life.
Her work is informed by her diverse experience in art, design, branding, psychology and restorative practices. An insightful facilitator, she inspires clients and participants with her in-depth knowledge and experience of the creative process, her constant quest for deeper understanding and her appreciation of each person’s innate creativity.
_______________
An enduring influence. During a 5 year study in Zurich, Switzerland, Bradbury immersed herself in the ideas of Carl Jung and came to understand how images found in our dreams and everyday lives can act as powerful metaphors that reveal new ways to understand, interact and shape our world. Today, she works with the internationally renown Jungian, Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen, to uncover new ways to integrate this wisdom into her creative practice.
She holds degrees in design and painting from the highly respected Kansas City Art Institute, the University of Kansas and is the recipient of multiple awards and scholarships. She has been honored with the Kansas Arts Commission Emerging Artist Award and Go Topeka’s Women of Influence Award.
