about bridget

With 15 years international marketing experience it wasn't until after bridget had her second child that she realised her true passion was as a 'maker/creator', thanks to an HNC in Fine Art completing with distinction.

ānene started with the creation of clothing that celebrates the female form and empowers women to feel like the best version of themselves. 

In 2020 it changed into a creative hub for bridget’s art creation, which celebrates many different forms and has grown from there.
