Background

Artist Bruce works by the principle, never paint where you haven’t been & never paint what you cannot feel. A lifetime of fishing & the bush has instilled a love of the outdoors. Bruce’s paintings reveal the natural beauty of Australia, which is the preferred subject of his paintings but increasingly looking within the subject seeking out the stories. He continues his look at new frontiers while paying homage to his learned images of Australia, the sea, the city & his beloved landscapes. His direction is increasingly that of storyteller with mood, atmosphere & the eternal pursuit of light.

Says Bruce, “I was a late bloomer and now there is never enough time to paint. There is a momentum, a time when all factors fall into place & I am excited about my permanent move to Toowoomba heartland, the exposure to new galleries & new exhibitions; the time to emerge as an artist in the ever-changing region.”  Art talks to those who listen. “Now nestled in Toowoomba heartland with a spacious Kleinton studio & a relaxed lifestyle; half urban, half country. A perfect base for travel to all points of the compass and a perfect hub for my homely art studio. Bruce has works on display in Toowoomba’s Met Gallery, Tweed Ultima at Tweed Heads, some local GC eateries & Watling Art Services, Burleigh Heads. Bruce is a prize-winning artist, teacher, exhibitor & increasingly sought after for commissions, workshops & as demonstrator of watercolour fine art. Some of his works can be viewed on his website.
