Jane is a third‑generation native New Mexican, tracing her heritage to a working ranch near Santa Rosa. Growing up in Santa Fe, she dreamed of becoming “the female Michelangelo of the West.” That ambition led her to open a major art gallery and later a thriving art & crafts supply store and framing shop in De Vargas Mall, the beginning of her life as a passionate entrepreneur.

After the tragic passing of her husband, Dr. William G. Bradley, in 1987, Jane embraced new challenges. She became Director of the Genesis Business Incubator at the University of Arkansas, helping others turn ideas into thriving businesses.

Her path then took her to Russia, where she served as President of the Russian Czars football team and later worked on grants and technology transfer projects with the Russian military. Four years abroad gave her invaluable experience before family matters brought her back home to New Mexico.

Back in her beloved state, Jane continued as a consultant, educator, and mentor in both business and nonprofit communities. She has been honored as one of Albuquerque’s Influential Women and received the Governor’s Award for Outstanding New Mexico Women. Today, she continues to paint, teach, and write weaving creativity and wisdom into every endeavor.
