I have always been drawn to the natural world, and my artwork is a personal dialogue with the cycles of life, memory and the passage of time. Often in my work there is a sense of longing and the desire and hopefulness to reconnect with the earth. Through both imagery and medium, I create organic pieces that speak to the interconnectedness of all living things.

My mixed media paintings incorporate moments captured by my photographs with the richness of paint. I lay down layers of paint and pieces of photo transfers, papers or fibers to create depth in both form and meaning. The canvas becomes a multilayered surface that speaks to both the visual and tactile senses. This integration of diverse layers creates an intimate connection that invites exploration.

My artwork aims to reveal the beautiful melancholy and the fragile imperfection of the life around and within.

Bio

Bridgette Guerzon Mills is a multimedia artist whose work incorporates a variety of materials, including photography, paint, encaustic, textiles, as well as reclaimed materials. Her mixed media art often combines photography with encaustic to create a bridge between two worlds – the real and the reconstructed, while her landscapes are an attempt to capture a feeling of wonder, recognition and kinship with the land. Her outdoor installations, often created using foraged or salvaged materials, focus on environmental issues and seek to engage and educate the public about these concerns. She has been published in magazines and books and her work has been collected in the United States and internationally. She has lived in the east coast, midwest, and pacific northwest.
