About the Artist

Brigette Small is focused on capturing the liminal space between the beautiful and the macabre, the mundane and the fantastical. Her work often incorporates symbols and elements that weave narratives and underlying messages, inviting viewers to explore the darker, more psychological aspects of the human experience. Viewers are pulled into otherworldly landscapes filled with strange creatures and bizarre inhabitants, encouraging them to question what is depicted and to step into the unknown.

Throughout her life, she has always been driven by insatiable curiosity. This has led her to explore various artistic mediums, from traditional techniques like graphite, colored pencil, pastel, charcoal, ink, oil, and acrylic, to sculpting compounds and contemporary digital tools. Despite this, she remains a lifelong student, embracing new techniques and technologies while guided by a growth mindset focused on embracing the ups and downs of being in the art field.

This desire to understand the world and its complexities has fed her creative process. Drawing from her studies of art history, philosophy, and psychology, she is always looking for ways to apply what she has learned to her work, which serves as an outlet for her thoughts and a way to connect with others.
