Description
Join us for the next chapter of Distilled: An Artist Series featuring August’s artist, Bradley Eiland.
Distilled comes from the idea of extracting the essence of something — just as spirits are distilled, artists distill their experiences, influences, and perspectives into creative work. This opening gallery night marks the beginning of Bradley’s month-long installation, with her work on display throughout the distillery all November long.
Come sip, mingle, and explore as Bradley transforms the distillery with her bold, emotionally rich works blending expressive portraiture, layered storytelling, and vibrant compositions full of movement, intimacy, and human connection.
Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy drinks from the bar, grab a bite to eat, mingle with Bradley, and explore the artwork throughout the distillery as the space comes to life through art, conversation, and community.
Free to attend • All are welcome • RSVP encouraged
Presented by Distillery 98 in collaboration with Emerald Coast Storytellers and in partnership with the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County.
About Bradley Eiland:
Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, Bradley Eiland (Copeland) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Florida’s Panhandle. A lifelong creative, her work has always been a central force in how she understands herself and the world around her.
She founded Bradley Copeland Studio at 22, developing a distinct voice and regional presence that has since evolved into her newest chapter, Moonfruit Studio. Bradley first gained recognition in 2020 for her bold, expressive lip paintings—marking the emergence of her unapologetic and dynamic style.
Her work lives in duality—whimsical yet raw, playful yet confrontational—exploring themes of identity, power, and the psychological patterns that shape our lives. Rooted in the belief that creativity is a tool for self-realization and healing, her practice extends beyond the studio.
In 2022, she helped launch the first prison art program at Walton Correctional Institution, teaching weekly classes centered on expression and transformation. The program continues today through the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County.
Bradley’s work is exhibited across the Southeast, with pieces available in galleries and public murals throughout the region. Learn more here.
