At least three goddesses were known by names incorporating bríg: Brigindo of Gaul, Brigantia of northern England, and Bríg of Ireland. The deity figure Bricta may also be related.Modern neo-pagan writers often cite inscriptions as evidence that there was a pan-Celtic goddess behind the figures of Brigindo, Brigantia, and Bríg. This may have been true, but a few inscriptions do not constitute conclusive proof.It is tempting to assume that goddesses that fill the same functional role in a society are cognates of Bríg, but this assumption is unwarranted. We simply do not know whether the Celts looked at their goddesses as interchangeable. The fact that so many different names are known suggests that they were seen as distinct figures. Brigid is considered the patroness of poetry, smithing, medicine, arts and crafts, cattle and other livestock, sacred wells, serpents (in Scotland) and the arrival of early spring. In the Christian era, nineteen nuns at Kildare tended a perpetual flame for the Saint, which is widely believed to be a continuation of a pre-Christian practice of women tending a flame in her honour.

"William Oxer is not merely a painter; he is a distinctive sensibility, with a poetic vision he explores in many media. His art is affirmative, evocative and forgiving..." Professor Sir Roger Scruton "William Oxer's paintings represent a strikingly fresh current in contemporary art. His work is experimental, and he is also willing to take on larger themes as well as demonstrating a delight in detail and minutiae. Very few contemporary artists paint so consistently well." Dr David Morley, University of Warwick In 2017 William was invited by the Royal Society of Arts to become one of their Fellows, which he is honoured to become. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fellow_of_the_Royal_Society_of_Arts
