As an experienced art tutor, Brighid delights in guiding students and watching their art skills and creative confidence grow.
Brighid has loved making art from the time she could crayon on the living room walls as a child… Today, she is an accomplished mixed-media artist working primarily with charcoal, collage, paint, and clay.
Brighid’s work has been exhibited in over 20 art galleries, trails, and shows, and can be found in selected artisan stores around New Zealand. She is active in the local arts community and often collaborates with fellow creatives.
Brighid’s artistic style tends toward expressive realism with a touch of whimsy. As a registered psychologist with a background in community development, Brighid’s artwork often explores stories of human connection and community.
“For me, art isn’t about creating something perfect- it’s about learning, exploring, expressing yourself, and experiencing the joy of making something with your own hands that you are proud of. I’d love to share that journey with you.”
