The mexican colors, traditions and flavors have been a strong influence on his latest work. During the last six years he has worked tirelessly on developing new series of way out wacky stuff as well as his traditional work, fusing to fit his theory of Pop Culture Folk Art.

I want you to get my work! he says. Art is about educating, Artists must be educators teaching the people to what your art is about. Painting is my life!!! It's a devotional prayer time. Discovering my nature of being reborn in the image of the creator. It is said that at the end of each day of creation God laughed. With my work I want you to laugh with it because it is filled with joy or as the mexicans say "Feliz"! Painting fulfills my purpose of trying to imitate my maker by being a creator. Quote: When you make up stuff, you are the master of your own universe!

Bruce's exploration has taken him into creating new universes of ideas. He says: My aim is to bring to you through my work a sense of peace, healing and reflection of remembering on a subconscious level that you can rest in my blue. While exploring these new styles he will always love the magic of a realism painting coming to life right before his eyes. He also enjoys passing on his knowlegde through talking about his art and encouraging new students on their journey.
