Bridie Watt

Bridie Watt is an Artist, Secondary Art Teacher, Uni Tutor and mother who has been exhibiting her work in various galleries, shops, markets and street corners…

Bridie mainly works as a painter but also uses mixed media; her paintings often feature birds and plant life, which is a constant source of inspiration.
I enjoy the colour and organic lines and shapes found in nature. The images are often metaphors of my life with the colours generating particular emotions.

I am also inspired by many other artists and artistic periods, Frida Kahlo, Mirka Mora, Kandinsky, The Impressionists, The Expressionists and post modern street Art just to name a few. I paint onto canvas and board and I often use vintage frames, which also gives my work a unique style.

I have exhibited in most of the galleries in Newcastle however in the last few years I have chose a space and through self-promotion created a temporary exhibition. My last show was at Suspension Expresso in Beaumont Street, which was great as people viewed the work constantly.

I have also been involved in commercial mural commissions for businesses. I have worked on a number of commissions and am open to more orders for 2012.

I also show new work at the Olive Tree Market but not every month and yearly at the Art Bazaar. I am currently working on a web site and facebook page. I am currently working at home from the kitchen table whilst I make a family!
