Bruce Katlin immerses himself in a world where his love for intense activity and various art mediums converge to create a life that is both fulfilling and purposeful. The great outdoors serves as his sanctuary, with the flora and fauna acting as his harmonious choir. Painting while trail running and hiking simultaneously in the stunning landscapes of New Mexico, Bruce is able to reach a state of unparalleled bliss where creativity and intuition effortlessly intertwine. His ongoing exploration into the effects of high altitude exercise on creativity and divergent thinking has led him to collaborate with national and international research labs to compile their findings alongside his own.
Working primarily with heavy layers of oil paint in the alla prima style, Bruce's artwork exudes a stained glass effect that captivates the viewer's attention. A self-taught artist and lifelong learner, he continues to push the boundaries of his creativity through his unique painting techniques. In addition to his skill as a painter, Bruce has also ventured into the realm of writing, with the publication of his first novel, "Birds Like Us, The Pi Phillecroix Story." This captivating tale follows the journey of a flightless pigeon from Paris to the UK in a bid to save her father's life, and Bruce is currently in the process of adapting the story into an animated film.
