Remembering Bridget Doughty

Bridget Doughty died yesterday, 24 January 2007.

Bridget was with Visual Arts Brampton since its April 1986 inception, when Palette of Peel merged with us. She was a regular at the daytime still life sessions, helping keep the timeslot active.

She was the recipient of a 2003 City of Brampton Arts Acclaim Long Term Service Award, for her many years of volunteering for the group.

In 2005, VAB had a special display of her work at the studio's Golden Pheasant Gallery. The Art of Bridget Doughty was her first solo exhibit in 20 years.

VAB is planning to purchase a plaque from the City of Brampton, to be placed at the base of a tree, in the park of her family's choice. We are now accepting donations, to prepay for a spring placement.
