Brigitte Herrod

My art reflects many of my passions. I love old printed ephemera, typography, mark making, found objects and treasures that Mother Nature gives us. Junk shops are my treasure troves. I cannot walk past a skip without having a good rummage and love nothing better than gathering pebbles or sticks on a beach or woodland walk. All this with the aim of creating something with my precious finds.

I like to take beautiful, quirky or everyday things , add my painting, drawing or typography and familiar words, sayings or symbols to create pieces which make the viewer look again at things they know. Much of my work has a message for the viewer and often a gentle humour or quirky twist.

I have been lucky to have my work acknowledged by renowned artist judges having had works of art accepted and sold in the RA Summer Exhibition . I exhibit my work in  several galleries where it is available to purchase as well as through  on line retailers and my own website.

I love the challenge of undertaking commissions. I have done so on a small scale creating one off pieces whilst at the other end of the scale I have enjoyed and completed large commissions for example creating over one hundred pieces of bespoke art for  The Swan Hotel redesign in Southwold .
