Current work and inspiration
"I am an Abstract artist in the Inner West, and over the past couple of years I have been increasingly drawn towards being a committed natural colourist, using bold and harmonious colours and lines to create dynamic works. I work in the mediums of drawing, painting, and screen-printing, and my style is characterised by shapes filled with striking colours, and rhythmic mark-making." (Bridget Kelly, 2021)
Bridget's current works, “Shapes”, are waterproofed outdoor artworks using poscas on wood. They are in many different shapes, and are bright and fun.
