Bridget McIntyre
At school, Bridget was told she was poor at art, and so she stopped painting. That all changed following a conversation between a local artist, Mary Harding and Bridget’s husband. When he told her Bridget’s story, she said, “Bring her to me, I’ll teach her”, and so over 20 years ago, Bridget began painting. Since then, she has spent time with artists in the UK and overseas, developing her skills and discovering her love of art. She had the most fantastic mentor, Win Fenning, who built her skills, inspired her, gave her confidence and a love of art—a completely different place from where Bridget was as a little girl.

More recently, she has focused much of her creative time on intaglio and linocut printing. Britt draws inspiration from the world around her, including her garden and pets, and has a deep love of colour that shines through in her work.
