This is the newest painting Celebrating David Jones~Bowie eternal love shared with Iman. The more I learned about their relationship, the more my heart grew with empathy and deep inspiration. I completed this painting a day after the second anniversary of his passing. Focusing on each layer while listening to his music and imaging the love they shared. I used gold leaf to emboss an Irish symbol of eternal love, (2 hearts and the infinity symbol). The shapes and symbols were inspired while listening to his song Gemini Spacecraft. Tribal Love~ David Bowie Inspired series journey began as soon as I heard of his passing. In the fall of 2016, I was given the gift to paint a 10x10ft mural beside David and Iman’s New York home. I was able to live in the neighborhood for a few months during the process. Working beside their home for 13 evenings straight until the mural was ready to be installed outside. I was able to finish the process while being embraced by his neighbors and fans. Then on January 10th 2017.I had another extraordinary gift...I painted live with David’s band in NYC and then again 24th&25th in Los Angeles, 2017. Those paintings created are helping benefit a child's art foundation in England. the journey of this series continues as does his essence. layers of acrylic, on a cradled wood panel. I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody’s talents. David Bowie

Bridget is fueled by curiosity. Her work is expressive and driven by exploration, spontaneity, and intuition. In her early career, Bridget’s multifaceted artistic abilities manifested themselves through performance art and acting, allowing her to explore emotional depths and exposing her to the global community, culture, and art. Today, Bridget’s canvases express the wealth of her collective experiences, the timelessness of her inquisitive nature, thirst for the undefined, and acceptance of the ever-changing. Exploration of emotion and the constantly-shifting universal fiber are fundamental values of her expression. I paint intuitively following the flow of the moment. Sometimes in complete silence, other times with music guiding, most often working on several canvases at a time. At times I feel much like I imagine a conductor feels in front of an orchestra, the canvases are filled with different sounds, the paint and materials playout as either a section or the entire orchestra. To me, Life is art, full of contrast, and nothing in this universe is static. My approach is an expressionistic map of my experiences, curiosity, and explorations...most often in an abstracted metaphorical form. I feel art is infinite. I am at my best when I can go with the flow by listening to my intuition, evolving and discovering the many languages that give visual voice to moments in my life. ”- Bridget Griggs The innate, explorative truth expressed by the visual dialogue of her painted works has attracted a vast private collector, and corporate clientele following and is sought out by the international creative and design communities. Recognized for her artistic virtuosity, Bridget’s works can be seen in numerous public spaces across Canada and the US, such as in the lobby of The Fairmont Hotel in Calgary, A large David Bowie-inspired mural beside his families home on Lafayette St. NYC, Odgers Berndtson at the Royal Bank Plaza, Toronto, Totum Fitness Life Science to name a few. Bridget stays constantly creatively engaged whether traveling across the globe in search for the new frontiers of exploration, or in her native Canada where she paints in her treasured studio space located in the Roncesvalles Village – one of the few remaining artist warehouse spaces in Toronto Her paintings are regularly featured and sold through Saatchi Art, fulfilling her goal to connect with a global audience.
