Slow stories,
carefully nurtured.

Bridget works in a variety of settings, ranging from adult-focused workshops in tertiary education, charity organisations, and corporate spaces to interactive sessions that encourage participation across multiple generations. The mission of Ecohistories is to provide safe, nurturing spaces where the pressing issues of the environmental crisis can be explored.

Bridget's creative and educational approach was evident in the Nettles Project at the University of Roehampton, an interdisciplinary initiative bringing together art, textiles, sustainability and ecological awareness. Through hands-on workshops and creative exploration, she transformed a common plant into a useful educational and artistic tool, enabling participants to reflect on biodiversity, resourcefulness, heritage crafts and environmental stewardship while building community.

Originally trained as a social worker, and specialising in grassroots community development, Bridget's professional journey spans more than three decades of work with children, families, communities and educational institutions. Throughout this journey, creativity has remained central to her practice; whether facilitating community projects, developing museum learning experiences, creating artwork or conducting research, she consistently uses art, storytelling and craft as pathways for learning, healing, reflection and social connection.

Between 2024 and 2026, Bridget presented three solo exhibitions and participated in two collaborative exhibitions exploring themes including neurodiversity, recycling and sustainability. She has also curated two exhibitions at Roehampton University focused on Nettles and Oak Gall Ink. Since 2023, she has served as a sessional art tutor delivering interactive Textiles and Sustainability Workshops and interdisciplinary educational programmes, including a wide range of Slow Eco Workshops that invite participants to engage with sustainability through making, storytelling, discussion and creative exploration.

Working as an independent artist and as a sole trader, through EcoHistories, Bridget continues to build bridges between art, sustainability, education and community development. Whether creating artwork, curating exhibitions, leading workshops, mentoring emerging practitioners or contributing to academic research, she approaches creativity as a means of fostering connection, encouraging wonder and generating positive social and environmental change.
