Biography
Bruce is an artist who began painting in the 1990’s while living in California’s rural central coast. Over the years his paintings have been displayed in art galleries and art shows throughout California, Colorado and Washington. He currently creates original works of art from his Ojai, Ca studio. “Ojai’s surroundings provide inspiration for much of my new work and reflects the diversity of California’s beautiful landscape,” Bruce says. He enjoys painting impressionistic landscapes and contemporary rural scenes, people, and anything that captures his interest.
Always the student of life, he continually strives to grow and get better at his art, often tackling subject matter that challenges him in different ways, whether by altering lighting or color choice, or experimenting with application.
Bruce feels the best way to create a given painting with feeling and passion is through experiencing the subjects from life - the wind blowing, getting caught in a rainstorm, and feeling the surroundings of the World. The result will bear a unique sense of not only the place but of the artist's experience.
