Studio 280-A, Building 14001

My love of color and art started right from the beginning. My mom loved color. She was a redhead; maybe it comes naturally. Over our mantel was a big canvas with a green and blue painted butterfly. A reproduction of Hans Hofman's "The Golden Wall" hung in our family room. Our kitchen countertops were green - not 70s avocado green, but splashy apple green. The kitchen wallpaper pattern: bright yellow lemons. In our "formal" living room, where most other houses had dainty chintz or muted plaid sofas, my parents chose a bright yellow couch with giant sprays of flowers in purples and greens. Color was just a part of our life.

My mom and grandmother were artists with fabric and thread. Mom was an excellent quilter; she loved choosing patterns and textures, and she was serious about making tiny stitches. Crochet was my Nana's art. Yes, she made those typical Nana afghans, but she also created beautiful, intricate tablecloths and doilies. 

Self-taught and channeled through decorating cookies for decades, both making them and writing books about them, I am obsessed with color and texture. Working for Mary Engelbreit in the 1990s was instrumental in noticing the interplay of color, pattern, and words.

What can you expect from Bridget Edwards Studio? Color. Texture. Fanciful paintings and mixed media, both figurative and abstract.
