Bridget Greenwood

Bridget Greenwood (b. 1961) is a British abstract landscape painter whose practice is rooted in an intimate, emotional response to the landscape. Colour lies at the heart of Bridget Greenwood’s practice. Carefully chosen palettes, often muted and harmonious are used to evoke emotion, calm, and stillness, shaping the atmosphere of each piece.

Raised in Cheshire, Bridget Greenwood first studied art in the 1980s before moving to London, where she built a successful career in advertising. Throughout this period Bridget continued to paint, but it was during the 2020 lockdown that she returned to her studio practice with renewed commitment.

Working predominantly in acrylic and mixed media, Bridget Greenwood explores the tension between memory, place, and abstraction creating landscapes that evoke atmosphere rather than depict location. Her practice is defined by layered surfaces, bold yet harmonious colour, and a strong sense of movement that reflects the emotional experience of being in the landscape.

While Bridget Greenwood’s imagery often grows from walks and photographs taken in the landscape, the finished paintings resist literal depiction. Instead, fragments of remembered places surface subtly revealed only after the process has run its course, guided by emotion rather than observation.

Bridget Greenwood is represented by several respected galleries across the UK, and her paintings are held in private collections nationally and internationally.
