Born in Cottesloe, WA, in 1936, Bruce went jackerooing in the North West, which led to him sketching his fellow stockmen, their horses and the surrounding unique landscape.

He later studied at the Perth Art School before working as an art director within the advertising industry in Perth and Sydney.

For the last 30 years he has been a professional artist and has gained a strong following depicting the desolate inland towns and landscapes, as well as the people that inhabit them, the stockmen, miners and other colourful characters.

Bruce has held 22 successful solo exhibitions and numerous mixed exhibitions, mostly in Australia, but also in the UK and the USA.

Bruce has also been the recipient of over a dozen Australian painting awards.
