Bridgett, a New Hampshire native, is a jack of all trades, a lawyer, a professor of law, a mom to four rambunctious boys, and an artist. During your visit with Muse, she will encourage you to embrace your inner Van Gogh, without the messy business of lopping off one's ear. She will guide you through the canvas art you came to create, however, the most important rule of thumb is to relax and have FUN! Hosting paint events for her has been a welcomed change from the nuances that make up our justice system, from the wayward paper trails to the red taped madness which ensues. When she's not caring for her family of six, occasionally they set her free to paint and have fun with fellow artists, well... like you! She *WILL* get you through this painting with a smile on your face, because after law school and four boys... nothing scares her.

Kailey first got into drawing back in middle school when she watched an anime called Naruto. Fascinated by the animation style she taught herself how to mimic it, especially her favorite manga artists Miura, Ji-Hyung Song, Kubo, and Kishimoto. After a time people that she knew would ask her to tutor them in the anime style, which she found to be very fun and interactive. Kailey's mother, seeing her daughter doing so well (in both tutoring and independently) decided to buy her a drawing tablet (her first one!) so that she could continue to better herself. Although she learned very quickly, Kailey soon realized that she could only learn so much on her own and really wanted to learn how to branch out and draw other styles. That was when she signed up for the New Hampshire Institute of Art where she now majors in Illustration and minors in Graphic Novel. Because of her schooling, Kailey has become rather proficient in using acrylic, watercolor, and gauche as well as various dry medias (though being particularly fond of graphite, charcoal, and acrylic). She loves bold, bright colors and extreme shading; she still incorporates this into her anime style as well as some new styles she picked up along the way.

A creative eye and a passion for art has lead Heather to become the artist she is. With an interest in abstract, she enjoys the works of Georgia O'Keefe and Jackson Pollack. Heather's love for painting developed at a young age as she watched her parents paint on various objects such as decorative ceramics, mugs, wood, & glass. You name it, they painted it! Heather is a self-taught artist and loves exploring new ways to approach her paintings. With two young boys at home she always expresses how important it is to explore their creativeness. She enjoys sharing her love for art with them. With a positive attitude and a passion to work with people, Heather is a tremendous asset to the Muse team.

Alyssa has been drawing and painting her entire life. As a girl her parents and friends always encouraged her creativity and her passion for the visual arts blossomed every year. This passion lead Alyssa to further her education at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a focus in Illustration. Alyssa is a huge fan of comics and graphic novels having read many manga and comics growing up. Stories and illustrations inspire her and someday she hopes to be a graphic novelist or children's book illustrator. Alyssa loves sharing her knowledge and love of the arts with everyone; she wants people to know art is not definable and mistakes are never a problem. Her high school art teacher would always say "artists are problem solvers" and it is a statement Alyssa likes to live by. Alyssa works freelance out of her studio at home and has an Etsy shop. She also works at an art studio in Nashua painting everyday. Other artists that inspire Alyssa are Salvador Dali, David Wiesner and Niki de Saint Phalle among many. Being a full time artist brings Alyssa nothing but joy.
