Artists' Bios

Bridget Catchpole has been a studio jeweller for over ten years and currently resides in Vancouver, Canada. In 1998, she received her BFA, with distinction, in Studio Art at Concordia University in Montreal. She has been recognized by the Canada Council for the Arts and the BC Arts Council as well as having exhibited internationally. Bridget’s work references identity and personal expression, involving a determined balance of concept and technique. Her work can be seen in Metalsmith’s “Exhibition in Print 2004”, and also in “1000 Rings”, “500 Brooches” and “500 Earrings” all published by Lark Books.

Her current series of work explores material through an open and organic process. Designs are constructed with texture and form in mind. Her New Works strive for simplicity and elegance – to appreciate the shape of a line or to enjoy being adorned by something precious. Earrings, bracelets and necklaces are textural compositions that play with proportions to create visual interest. Each piece is a distinctive craft for a distinctive individual.
