Bridget Pelletier
Today’s Deutsch spotlight features one of our newer artists, Bridget Pelletier. Bridget enjoys spending time taking care of her pet parrots, bees, chickens, cat and dog. Bridget recently set some goals for herself, deciding she wanted to spend more time in the community, make new friends, and explore career opportunities.
Bridget joined our art gallery, Verve Vertu, in March of 2024 and quickly began working on her goals. She began making new friends and demonstrated her passion for fashion with her jewelry making. Bridget participated in many of our studio outings including Corning Museum of Glass, Medieval Times in Lyndhurst NJ, Rickett’s Glen, and Knoebels Amusement Park.
