About me

 Christian • Philanthropist • Animal lover • Watercolour artist

Hello and thank you for visiting my website

 

My name is Brigitte, I live on the island of Jersey, Channel Islands, which is part of the British Isles.

 

Having retired after thirty years of working in property

development in London, I recently discovered a passion for watercolour painting.

What I once described as my “Covid” hobby has now evolved into an exciting philanthropic initiative called “Art for Change".

My journey started by creating personalised greetings cards for family and friends. Much to my surprise, friends and acquaintances were soon

asking to purchase my cards. Starting another business was the last thing on my mind but I quickly realised that I could align my passion for

painting with my desire to give to good causes. I decided to allow friends to purchase my cards on the understanding that 100% of the profits of all

sales would be donated to charitable causes.

Art for Change supports many causes but those closest to my heart are

  • Feeding, housing and educating the poor

  • Global animal welfare and rescue​

 

  • Mental Health Schemes and Programs

Here are the names of some of the charitable causes currently supported

You will find my favourite and best selling pieces in my gallery page.  However, my portfolio is much larger and everything is available for sale in the form of cards, wall hanging prints or originals.  Please email me for more information.

 

I would love to take this opportunity to give a special mention to the shops here in Jersey who have generously agreed to stock my cards, taking no profit for themselves, and thereby partnering with me in this charitable venture – I can’t thank them enough.

The Sustainable Co-operative

Everything is painted with love and for the well-being of those who do not have a voice and can only rely on the love and compassion of mankind.  The messages in my cards have been carefully curated to encourage compassion and create awareness of the cruelty and suffering of specific people groups and animals.

Mission

I call my initiative “Art for Change – because together we can!”
