# About me
PLEASE NOTE: I DO sell prints of my art. But NOT thru DA. I sell them on my website www.brigiashwood.comABOUT THE ARTIST:
Brigid Ashwood's art could be described as Contemporary Figurative Mythic Surrealism. But the artist prefers to describe her work this way: " I paint steampunk bugs, clockwork dolls, fairytales & vinyl toys. I seek to reinterpret mythic and fairytale worlds and heroines' for a modern audience"
A contemporary artist exploring classic themes through a Sci-Fi lens; Brigid's influences and technique are well rooted in traditional mediums such as oil paint and silverpoint. She also works in the luminous tones of the digital palette; merging the labored craft of portraiture with the flexibility of modern mediums. Brigid's work is known globally and has been featured in exhibits around the country as well in books and international magazines. Her originals are collected by notable authors, musicians, actors and CEOs. Brigid's images have been licensed for a variety of products sold worldwide. She resides in Maryland in a 246 year old house with her husband & daughter, and four aggravating yet lovable pets. In her spare time she writes for GeekMom.com and haunts Twitter under the handle Skwerlgrrl.

Hey wow randomly finding you on Deviant Art... this is Jared Odom, Shane Odom's Son By The Way. I was just looking up Steampunk stuff and I happen upon your Deviant. Cool, Dad should have told me you had one.

I was at the Ren Faire in NorCal and I saw a girl who had a tattoo that looked like your work. I didn't have a chance to talk to her as it was only in passing.

Your art is very lovely! I love the way that you're not afraid to work with bright colours and how you manage to make them fit into the images without being obtrusive. Keep up the wonderful work.
