About
BRIDGET DAVIES has been fascinated by art and fashion since her childhood. She was trained at Bretton Hall, University of Leeds where she gained a 1st class BA in Fashion and Textiles. She then worked in the fashion industry for several years as an embroiderer. Eventually she returned to her first love, painting and illustrating, and now works as a freelance artist from her studio in Sussex.
Her inspiration comes from the places she finds herself drawn to, both physically and emotionally. These have included the times in her life when she lived in the Far East, as well as a perpetual fascination for the elegant styles of the Forties and Fifties. Her passion for the bygone era encouraged her visits to second-hand shops in search of antique cutlery. These sliver gems in turn became the motivation behind a collection of watercolours. Davies effortlessly translates their unique history onto paper using ink, watercolour, gold and silver leaf.
Her work shows her continuing interest in her earlier passion for fashion and textiles in both choice of subject matter and the use of fabrics and embroidery.
Words that define what she tries to express in her work include spontaneity, elegance, sensuality, beauty, line, freedom, luck and texture.
