For Bernadette, the process is as important as the final product. She is repeatedly drawn to a language of spaciousness, soft geometric shapes, as well as organicones, expressive improvisational lines, and bold compositions.

Bernadette chose a path of self-study and many hours of practice. Being part of a larger community of artists has contributed greatly to her education.

As a sensitive child she often observed subtleties and nuances. As an adult she gained deeper insight into her sensitivity and found that painting was a place where this was an advantage. She uses her acute awareness in the subtle choices she makes in her artwork. Her paintings are where her authentic self can emerge and she becomes one with the process.

Bernadette’s work has been juried into local, national, and international exhibits. She continues to discover her path as an artist and bravely cast her net in many directions with the belief that her artwork will find its way to those who wish for more connectivity in their lives.
