Bradford's work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship and was included in the Whitney Biennial.

Green, yellow, and a long stroke of red build around the steamboat form. Bradford painted directly onto the plate with watercolor and pulled a single impression. The watercolor sits differently on pressed paper than it would on canvas — thinner, more translucent, with the texture of the press showing through. This is the only print. Printed at Oehme Graphics in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
