I’ve always been into arts and crafts. When I was a kid I had basement full of polymer clay creatures; as a theatre student I loved making 1/2” scale scenic models; and for years I have sent handmade holiday cards to my loved ones. I’ve always enjoyed sending mail — as my pen pals know, while I’m not prompt about writing back, I love sending or receiving a good letter, card, or care package.
I am interested in communications, interactivity, and the relationship between the natural and unnatural. Taking various shapes and forms, my work uses color, pattern, and text, various artistic mediums, and found objects to explore these themes.
I’m Brídín; founder, maker, greeting card lover.
In 2018, my passions for paper crafts and letter-writing came together when I launched in great haste and started selling my handmade greeting cards. My cards have been found on Etsy, at Grand Bazaar and the Harlem Makers Collective in New York, and Lone Wolf Designs in Mariposa, California.
In 2022, I moved to Abu Dhabi where I lived, worked, and made art for 2 years. In the UAE, I led pop-up paper dyeing and greeting card-making workshops, co-created an interactive media installation where attendees could dismantle photocopiers and make things out of the pieces, and had a solo installation of my mixed media series well?
In 2025, I moved back to my hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan, where I make all sorts of things -- paintings, mixed media creations, greeting cards, and more.
