Listen "A Modern Artist's Perspective: The art of building a successful career, by taking control of your life every single day with Bridgette Mayer"
Episode Synopsis
Born into a home of alcohol abuse, illicit drug use, and neglect, Bridgette and her two sisters were bounced around from house to house within the foster care system. She was nine when she and her sisters fortunately were adopted into a loving home. From a very young age, Bridgette had a passion for creativity and art, which her parents happily encouraged. That led to college degrees in Art and Art History. She sought out and worked in galleries and other creative venues, then realized her true calling was to own her own art gallery. At age 26, Bridgette bought her first gallery in Philadelphia, which is still open today, 20 years later. She describes how owning her own gallery helped push her out of her shy comfort zone, enabling her to speak confidently, connect, communicate, and build relationships with people. Bridgette now lives in Florida with her husband and toddler son, making art, practicing gratitude and meditating.
