I am an interdisciplinary and mixed media artist who combines visual art, technology and social activism to raise public awareness and inspire social change. This juxtaposition of various mediums allows me to artistically convey complex concepts through the poetics of hybrid imagery that prompt deep reflection and inspire curiosity and thought. Either by constructing narratives or creating artwork that expresses my personal opinions, I invite viewers to reflect, connect, heal, elevate, and be radically inspired towards positive, real-world action.
Artist, gallerist and educator, Bridget Z. Sullivan, actively creates and presents her artwork, and presents the artwork of other artists while investigating and inventing new methods of art making using contemporary tools in her art practice.

I started out my career as a young Artist, still in middle school, going to an after school program called 901 Arts. The connections I made at 901 Arts allowed me to apply for several scholarships to cover art programs I was interested in. I was able to take fundamental drawing, expressional drawing, pottery, and photography classes at local Universities, Towson and the Maryland Institute of College and Art. The scholarships also allowed me to go to an art and film focused summer program, Steven Yeager's Young Film Makers Workshop.
