Meet the Artist

Brighid is an oil painting artist deeply rooted in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by sea, islands, mountains and ever changing open skies, her works are inspired by the Olympic Peninsula and how color, light and the passage of time interact with these elements. The symbols and geometric shapes featured in her paintings are influenced by the decoding of a visual language of synesthesia as experiences become stored as memories.

Painting on wood panels and canvas, she chooses colors that create energetic tension. Most paintings includes handmade paint created with dry pigments mixed with linseed or walnut oil. This technique encourages unexpected color variations while grounding her in the old tradition of oil painters.

Brighid studied art at Seattle University where she earned a degree in Visual Arts. Her is currently on display at Zee Tai Collective in Port Townsend.

Her work has been exhibited at Aurora Loop Gallery, Melito Gallery, and Velocity.
