About Brigit

Brigit is an full-time, professional oil and watercolor painter based in the Champlain Islands of Vermont. Originally from Holland, she grew up surrounded by waterways and countryside—enduring symbols of home that continue to inform her artistic work and practice. After two decades living abroad across multiple countries, she settled in New England, where she experiences the region’s landscapes, lakes, and marine life through a renewed lens.

Drawn to the textures, quality of light, and areas of contrast within a scene, Brigit approaches each painting as an exploration of sensory and emotional resonance. Her work reflects a deep engagement with place and the transformative relationship between environment and self, capturing the quiet dialogue between memory, movement, and belonging.

Brigit’s work has been met with critical and public acclaim, including a well-received solo exhibition featuring 28 paintings. Her artistic journey and body of work have been highlighted in an extensive three-page feature in a Dutch newspaper, as well as in a local Vermont publication, underscoring her growing recognition across both her native and adopted homelands.
