Bruce has been working in pastels for thirty-nine years. Entirely self-taught, Bruce works exclusively in that medium on cold-pressed watercolor paper. He has shown his work in Telluride for more than 30 years.

“I go out and look to capture that one unique and spectacular moment of life, whether in the mountains, in an urban setting, I might be slogging through a deluge, snowshoeing in -10°F, or painting plein air in 101°F. I pride myself in painting something that anyone can see themselves if they hang around: no exaggerations, no symbolism, and no implied metaphor.” – Bruce Gomez
