” Life is art. Our universe is not static. Being connected to knowing that everything is expanding is how I approach my practice, striving always to be true to myself in the moment…remaining curious and open to evolving my creative expression ( visual language) is what inspires me to show up and let whatever needs to come out onto the canvas.”-Bridget
Bridget’s diverse practice is a collaboration of the moment, a release of emotions, during her pursuit to create works that explore interconnectedness through embracing both abstraction and figuration. Bridget believes art is limitless and intended for all.
Bridget Griggs (1968) was born in Canada, where she began her creative journey. In her early career, Bridget’s multifaceted artistic abilities manifested themselves through performance art and modeling, allowing her to explore emotional depths and exposing her to the global community, culture, and art. Today, Bridget’s canvases express the wealth of her collective experiences, the timelessness of her inquisitive nature, her thirst for the undefined, and her acceptance of the ever-changing. Exploration of emotion and the constantly shifting universal fiber are fundamental values of her expression. The innate, explorative truth expressed by the visual dialogue of her painted works has attracted collectors around the world, as well as gallery and corporate clientele following, and is sought out by the creative and design communities. Bridget stays constantly creatively engaged whether traveling across the globe in search of the new frontiers of exploration, or in her native Canada where she continues to follow her intuitive flow of inspiration in her treasured studio space located on Sorauren Avenue – one of the few remaining artist warehouse spaces in Toronto. _Linda Dzhema director of De Re Gallery Los Angeles
Bridget currently exhibits her work throughout Toronto & in the USA.
