Bridget Conn was born in Clearwater, Florida in 1978. Having
expressed an interest in writing and art since childhood, she received
a BFA in Studio Art from Tulane University in 2000. Continuing down
the academic path, she received an MFA from the University of Georgia
in 2003, focusing in photography, mixed media and installation.
During those years she managed to squeeze in travel to England,
Russia, Mexico, Italy, and Ghana. Having received a Master’s
degree, she promptly moved to Australia to travel and pick fruit.
She returned in 2004 and participated in six shows across Georgia
in this year, including “Gathering” at Agnes Scott College
in Atlanta. She continues to show widely across the southeast and
recently in South Korea. She currently lives in Swainsboro, teaches
Art at East Georgia College, and works with an art advocacy group,
the Stillmoreroots Group, in bringing art to underserved communities
through non-traditional venues.
