Bruce Katlin, driven by his love for intense activity and passion for various art mediums, has found a way to make a living while living a life fulfilled. Nature serves as his sanctuary, with the great outdoors being his ‘church’ and the flora and fauna acting as the choir. Combining his two loves, Bruce paints while trail running and hiking in the vast and stunning canvas of New Mexico. This unique approach allows him to reach a state of unparalleled 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, engaging with National and International research labs to compile their findings alongside his own. Utilizing heavy layers of oil paint in the alla prima style, his paintings exude a stained glass effect that is truly captivating. A self-taught artist and lifelong learner, Bruce's work showcases his deep connection with the natural world and his dedication to honing his craft.
In addition to his work as a painter, Bruce has also ventured into writing, publishing 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. Currently, he is in the process of adapting the story into an animated film, showcasing his versatility as a creative individual. For those looking to bring a touch of nature and artistry into their homes or offices, Bruce's prints are the perfect choice for home and office decor.
