Bruce Katlin's life is a blend of intense activity and various art mediums, creating a fulfilling and exciting existence. The great outdoors serves as his sanctuary, with the flora and fauna acting as his choir. While trail running and hiking in the picturesque landscapes of New Mexico, Bruce paints, seamlessly combining his love for both activities. This unique fusion allows him to enter a state of nirvana, where pragmatic thinking and intuitiveness flow effortlessly.
For years, Bruce has been delving into the effects of high altitude exercise on creativity and divergent thinking, collaborating with national and international research labs to compile their findings alongside his own. His preferred medium is heavy layers of oil paint in the alla prima style, resulting in a stained glass effect in his work. A self-taught artist and lifelong learner, Bruce's passion for art and physical activity shines through in his creations.
In addition to his visual art, Bruce is also a writer, having published his first novel, "Birds Like Us, The Pi Phillecroix Story." The novel follows the journey of a flightless pigeon from a famous family of French fliers as she embarks on a mission to save her father's life by walking from Paris to the UK. Currently, Bruce is working on adapting this captivating story into an animated film. To bring a piece of Bruce's unique vision into your home or office, consider purchasing prints of his artwork for a touch of nature-inspired beauty.
