Living and working on Dja Dja Wurrung country in Victoria, Bridget embraces a slow, thoughtful approach to art—one that values craftsmanship, curiosity, and care for the environment.
Her work reflects a deep respect for nature, using traditional printmaking techniques and repurposed tools from her jewellery-making days.
