Brigitte paints in oil on canvas. Describing her style as photorealism, she pays particular attention to detail, laying on the paint flatly to compress and isolate the image. The colours are muted and encompass a coldness associated with stone structures and winter seas.

Born and raised in Hamburg, Brigitte studied graphic design at the College of Art & Design in Hamburg, graduating wwith a first class honors degree. Since moving to Ireland, she has earned a certificate in art therapy from the Crowford College of Art and Design in Cork. In 2003 she was awarded the Douglas Hyde gold medal at the Oireachtais Exhibition for her work. She has also exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Annual Exhibition.
