Artist of the week:Bridget Blatzheim

 May 1st, 2008 by  Tan Tuohy

Nomination

Bridget is an extraordinary artist and person. She dedicates most of her time and energy to her work and manages to remain enthusiastic about her work and optimistic about things in general. Bridget is an extremely creative person in the sense that she generates very original ideas and executes them in her own individual way. She recently began working more with clay as a medium, and her most recent ceramic work is very inspiring. I am always excited to see what she’ll come up with next.
