What Bridget does

I'm a mixed media artist who believes strongly in each person's innate creative ability. I love that moment of breakthrough or discovery in the creative process when people's eyes light up, and my passion is helping people have more of those moments. Through my company, Eyes Aflame, I offer experiential art workshops focused on the intuitive elements of creativity, as well as training in the practical skills of creativity that we all need for life and work. My goal is to rekindle that creative spark through a hands-on group experience, while helping you build the real skills you need to keep the creative fires burning - personally and professionally.

What Bridget does best

Helping people access and understand their own creative process - whether they're looking to apply that creativity to creating a piece of art, navigating a major life change, or a building better work team. I create fun, safe environments where people can take risks and learn to think more flexibly and intuitively.

What does Bridget need?

People who are interested in learning more about how their creativity works and diving into a creative experience - whether through a hands-on art workshop, or a practical creative skills training.

Education

Master of Science in Creativity and Change Leadership, State University of New York; Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art from The Colorado College

Experience

I've got a unique perspective as both a practicing artist and an analytical business person - and I bring both left brain and right brain together to help people understand, practice and apply creative process. I'm an artist who actually understands how creativity works. I have trained and supported others in developing their creativity, and have successfully applied my own creativity in areas outside of the arts - including market research and risk management.
