Welcome to my world of
Born Bright Dolls!

My name is Bridgette Bad and I have been professionally working in multiple fields of art for about 10 years now. However, I have been making art for as long as I can remember...I spent my childhood making clothes for various dolls, which later progressed to drawing of human form and fashion. By the time I discovered fashion magazines, I wanted to do it all! In my teen years I started making hats and costumes for myself as a form of self-expression, as well as painting and photography, which later lead me to working at New York City clubs as a host and a photographer. Those times were some of the best and the worst, but through it all I have lived, loved and learned. Having met many underground artists in the nightlife, I was inspired more than ever. Soon after, music became another fascination of mine and I learned the art of webdesign, sound and video production. That lead me to working on projects as a multimedia designer with nightclubs, magazines and other artists. I opened a design company called Born Bright Designs in 2003, which incorporated web&graphic design, illustration and animation, photography, videography and music production (you can view my portfolio at www.bornbrightdesigns.com and my personal website with photos and info at www.bad.bornbrightdesigns.com). But it wasn't until recently that I have discovered my fascination with the art of sculpting. Having experienced many other forms of art, I must say that sculpting suites me best, since it incorporates many skills into one and makes the end result feel that much greater. As a former doll collector, I decided that it would save me time and money if I could make the dolls myself. Without any former training in sculpting, I bought some clay and decided to try it out. To my surprise, I wasn't as bad as I thought I would be! And with practice and patience I started to improve. All my dolls and masks are One Of A Kind and are made without using any casts or molds. Unlike painting or 3D computer design, the art of sculpting literally brings the idea to life! Most of my inspiration comes from movies and theater...I believe that movies can change lives, they can awaken something in you that you didn't even know was there, that's how it is for me. With time, I'd like for my work to get more deep in its context, as I believe that by incorporating philosophy into any form of art has absolutely no boundaries. Just like with universe-there may be no limits. I hope that this is just the beginning...or the end really, meaning that I have finally found the most precise way of expressing my dreams and ideas. Perhaps there are other roads that my lay ahead, but what kind of artist would I be without taking risks?...for "Art is an Accident!" -B.Bad
