Brady's work has been featured in the New York Times, NY Arts Magazine, and Time Out New York. The New York Times' Whitney Richardson wrote, "Her images are carefully structured to blend the familiar with the unknown — antique furniture and vintage fabrics juxtaposed with unnaturally twisted body forms — with the hope of getting viewers to ask one question: 'I know these objects, but why does this all feel so foreign?'" Her photography is featured in many private and public collections including Elton John's collection and the West Collection. Saatchi Gallery profiled her as an emerging artist of the week in 2007.
Sweet Affliction
Brady's Sweet Affliction series captures young women in domestic, nostalgic settings, while embracing both commonplace and carnal elements. In her review of the show, Roberta Smith of the New York Times wrote, "Ms. Brady's work deals rather explicitly and hilariously with the female predicament."
