Brigitte Le Boulleur - The Motherhood Collection: Textile art & Jewellery, paintings

Brigitte Le Boulleur, in her creative pursuit of an associate degree, has artistically explored the theme of Motherhood. Through various media, she has beautifully captured the intricate dance of love and connection between a mother and her child, shedding light on the complex narrative of motherhood, especially in the context of surrogacy.

Born in Perpignan, Brigitte Le Boulleur moved to Ireland in 1981. She has kept the love of vivid colours from her roots (Perpignan is close to Collioure, the birthplace of Fauvism) and that love is reflected in her work.

Brigitte's themes of predilection include womanhood, motherhood, freedom, power and equality. She strongly believes that creativity is linked to freedom and democracy and has campaigned most of her life to encourage creativity in children and the community.

Although she has done a lot of work with textiles, she likes to explore an image or theme in different media to give it different interpretations - these could be glass, ceramics, paint or jewellery.  Her work is based on emotional responses to different experiences in her life, historic events or current news.

Brigitte's art and promotion of creativity is a political manifesto to promote freedom of expression.
