ARTIST STATEMENT
As a mixed media artist, encaustic is a versatile medium that allows Bridgette to create depth in layers and serves as a means for further exploration in both form and meaning. She combines her photography with encaustic to create a bridge between two worlds, the real and the reconstructed. The canvas becomes a multilayered surface that speaks to both the visual and tactile senses. Her landscapes are an attempt to capture a feeling of wonder, recognition and kinship with the land. She explores landscapes in both oil
paint and encaustic.
Her outdoor installations, often created using foraged or recycled materials, focus on environmental issues and seek to engage and educate the public about these concerns.
