VAB member Bridget Doughty has donated one of her works to permanently decorate the studio. An acrylic painting of a Chinese golden pheasant was donated to the Visual Arts Brampton Creative Studio on Saturday, after Bridget had set up her exhibit, The Art of Bridget Doughty.

The work was created a few years ago, when the pheasant was first loaned to the studio, along with a tiger and other animals. Since then, the taxidermed bird has become the mascot of our Golden Pheasant Gallery.

Bridget is one of VAB's original members, joining the group upon its founding in 1986. She was originally a member of Palette of Peel, a group that merged with VAB on our founding.

The Art of Bridget Doughty continues at the studio until July 4th, 2005.
