Bridgette Mongeon- With professor Richard Hathaway

I have always been drawn to the human form, especially the face. I strive to capture more than a likeness. Through my sculpture work I seek the essence of an individual. I create a memory or time in a life through portraiture of both the living and deceased. A masterful portrait does not come from the artist alone; it is a collaboration among artist, subject, and those who revere or love the subject. The emotional investment of these people helps to bring each work to life.

I see the world in the face of the elderly
and the heavens in the face of a child.

My most recent studio work incorporates both traditional and digital processes of sculpting:tra-digi art. The perpetual advancements and the desire to streamline my creative process fuels me.

There is a healing and an educational process that I desire with all of my creative endeavors. In my writing and podcasts, I share vulnerability, experiences, both my own and others, and conversations with the genuine hope that they will assist others in healing. I strive to help both myself and others obtain a fulfilled life infused with creative passion and curiosity and bringing to light new processes that enhance productivity. This healing and educational practice is integral to all of my creative endeavors.

“When George Eastman created the Kodak Camera in 1888, he made a cumbersome and complicated process easy to use and accessible to nearly everyone …”

…Since then, the world has been oversaturated with trillions of images. photographs have become highly accessible and highly expendable. Within the age of digital media, when the discarding of an image is as simple as a push of a button, what makes one image more expend- able than another? By taking images of everyday occurrences and recreating them in a painterly, non-photographic manner, I am not only putting focus on the snapshot and that of the “everyday” image, I am also forcing the viewer to question their importance.
