The Heart of the Artist:

The Origin Of Our Name
When my husband and I first started dating, I lived in New York and Jonathan lived in Florida. We enjoyed many playful exchanges in a dreamy, fairy-tale style. When Jon signed one of his emails “Jonagorn,” I responded in kind by making up a name for myself: “The Elf-Princess Briduviel.” Briduviel is a combination of my own name, “Bridget,” and the Elvish name, “Tinuviel,” from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. The inscription in Jon’s wedding ring reads, “Princess Briduviel to Lord Jonagorn.” I am an artist, a musician, and an illustrator. Of all the names I considered for my business, Briduviel’s World seemed to best describe the flavor and scope of all I hope to share.
