About Me
Hi! I’m Bridget. I studied art at the start of my college career, before switching my focus to Journalism. Over the past 20+ years, I have built a career as a reporter, editorial leader and more recently, content innovation, while pursuing creative work whenever I can.
Today, I draw representational art using pencil or paint. I’m an avid learner and continue to explore new techniques and mediums.
I’m also a Mom to two daughters, two dogs, two dwarf goats, and too many chickens. My husband and I raise this family in a rural area of Rhode Island, where I create art inspired by the serene farms and animals in my area.
When I’m not working or doing all the Mom things, you’ll find me reading! I love books and have published two children’s books: “The Secrets of Santa’s Trackers” and “The Bunny’s Tale.” Find out more about my books on my author site.
AWARDS
2024 - Best in Show - Save a Horse, Buy Art Juried Art Show
Painting
My oil portraits full of warmth and depth thanks to thin layers and glazing techniques I’ve learned to use.
Graphite Drawings
Classic black and white drawings are so beautiful! Learning to create depth and form with graphite in 2022 got me started on the path to pet portraits.
Colored Pencil & Pastel
I began to focus on colored pencils in early 2024 and in October 2024, my colored pencil drawing of an Andalusian Horse, called “A Quiet Moment,” won Best in Show at my first juried art show! The event, “Save a Horse - Buy Art,” was held at the Essex Gallery in Connecticut.
In late 2024, I moved into pastel drawings and currently work in that medium to create representational portraits a bit faster than what’s possible with colored pencil.
Pattern Design
In 2023, I completed an immersive surface pattern design course, learning how to turn my artwork into repeating patterns. I now have a number of surface pattern designs available on Spoonflower. They are also available for licensing. Contact me to discuss!
