Bruce Katlin is a multi-talented artist who seamlessly combines his love for intense activity with various art mediums to create a fulfilling life. The great outdoors serves as his cathedral, with the flora and fauna acting as the melodic choir to his creative process. Often found trail running and painting simultaneously in the stunning landscapes of New Mexico, Bruce finds a unique sense of tranquility and inspiration in the harmonious blend of physical exertion and artistic expression.

During his trail running and painting excursions, Bruce enters a state of unparalleled nirvana, where pragmatic thinking and intuitive creativity effortlessly coexist. Fascinated by the effects of high altitude exercise on creativity and divergent thinking, he has spent several years researching this connection, collaborating with National and International research labs to gather insights.

In addition to his visual artistry, Bruce is also a talented writer who has 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, he is working on adapting this captivating story into an animated film, further showcasing his diverse creative talents. For those looking to enhance their home or office decor with unique and inspiring artwork, Bruce Katlin's prints are a must-have addition to any collection.
