Bridget is a Cheshire-born painter whose work has been exhibited nationally since 2021 and is represented by galleries across the UK.
Message
Bridget was born in 1961 and grew up in Cheshire. She studied at art college in the 1980s before moving to London, where she built a successful career in advertising. Although painting had always been a part of her life, it was during the 2020 lockdown that she returned to it fully, rediscovering it as both a creative practice and an emotional outlet.
Since then, her work has quickly gained recognition. She held her first solo exhibition at Gallery 6 in Newark in 2021, followed by joint exhibitions at The Lake Gallery on the Wirral in 2024 and 2025. Today, Bridget is represented by a number of galleries across the UK, with her work collected by both national and international buyers.
Statement
Bridget is a landscape painter based in Cheshire. Her work explores a deeply personal and emotional connection with the landscape, reflecting an ongoing fascination with how place and feeling intertwine.
She paints intuitively, allowing unplanned shapes, gestures, and imagery to guide the process. Accidental marks and unexpected shifts are embraced as vital to the work, creating a balance between deliberate composition and unconscious expression.
Colour lies at the heart of her practice. Carefully chosen palettes—often muted and harmonious—are used to evoke emotion, calm, and stillness, shaping the atmosphere of each piece.
Although her paintings may be informed by landscapes she has walked through and photographed, they are never intended as direct representations. More often, echoes of real places reveal themselves only once the painting is complete, emerging from memory, intuition, and emotion.
