Bio: Brad Oldham – Co-Owner
Brad Oldham is a sculptor with the mind of an engineer. In 1998, Oldham established his stand-alone company to design and produce sculptures, architectural features and custom products for commercial and public projects. The company, now known as Brad Oldham International, Inc. (“BOII”), builds upon Oldham’s highly regarded tenure with the country’s top interior design firms, well-known real estate owners, discriminating private art collectors, and public entities.

Oldham earned a Bachelor of Science from Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth. During college, he was awarded academic and basketball scholarships. In 1990, Oldham used his sculpting and manufacturing skills to add jewelry and button creation and manufacturing into the family apparel business. The company was lead by his older brother Todd Oldham, an internationally acclaimed fashion designer. Along with his metalworking expertise, Oldham oversaw production and manufacturing of Todd Oldham’s couture and bridge lines for more than eight years. In 1998 when the family business closed, he leveraged the skills that he acquired in the fashion industry to start BOII. Today, the company has earned an enviable list of clients ranging from public entities to Fortune 500 corporations and international art collectors. Oldham is one of the youngest sculptors on the national scene and his work continues to improve and become more valuable. He enjoys blurring the traditional lines between fine art and commercial products, creating a unique offering that makes sculpture more accessible and engaging to an emerging audience of art collectors.

Oldham brings a background of education, craftsmanship, diverse culture and creativity to his endeavors. He has combined his talents, education, and experiences to pursue the profession he has always dreamed about. The only thing that surpasses Oldham’s passion for sculptural artwork is his devotion to family. Oldham is married to Christy Coltrin and he enjoys fostering the individual creative pursuits of his three children.
