Bridget Winterbourne
Bridget Winterbourne
Bridget has a passion for creating art in many forms and splits her time between North Somerset and Cornwall. The stunning land and seascapes in these areas are where her inspiration lies. Bridget’s also drawn to secret and secluded places, such as meadows, woodland and hedgerows, where she finds captivating and exhilarating subjects to paint all year round. Her aim is to produce work that captures the beauty of nature, and that reminds us of the things often taken for granted in our increasingly busy lives. During the Spring, Summer and early Autumn Bridget opens her studio doors from her gallery located at her home in the beautiful seaside town of Bude, North Cornwall. The house is one of the original Mariners cottages built in the early 19th century and is superbly positioned within 100 yards of Summerleaze Beach. It has outstanding views looking across the beach and out to sea.
