Welcome!

Bridie Amelia Schmidt is an expressive and abstract landscape painter practicing art in unceded Bundjalung country, in northern NSW Australia.

Hi, I'm Bridie

I love painting landscapes and waterfalls, where I find peace and calm. I am currently obsessed with finding colour and shapes in landscape. I want to evoke memories of landscape and what makes us we feel wonder in nature. Thanks for visiting!

Projects

I'm currently exploring the book as both an object and a way of carrying ideas. Rather than following a conventional narrative, these works bring together printmaking, collage, folded paper, handwriting, found books and repurposed materials, and ask: what do we preserve, what we discard and what we choose to question?

Colour, memory and a sense of place

I paint the meeting point between calm and chaos — places where light filters through palms, colour hums, and memories shift like water.

Each painting begins as a feeling rather than a plan. Layers build, textures emerge, and the image finds its own rhythm. My palette often drifts between earthy greens and coral skies, to deep hues reminiscent of mountain streams.

I love to capture not just the place but the feeling of being in landscape, with expressive brushwork and emotive palettes.
