Biography
“I create to capture an elusive instant of universal beauty – beauty which lies hidden in each moment. Reflecting this moment and being true to improvisation takes risk - risk that keeps me open to infinite possibilities– the splendor, transformation, and awe of each sacred moment.”
Inspired by the explosive creativity and experimental art of the 60’s, Bruce studied music and fine arts at the University of Colorado, Boulder. After graduation, Bruce began a film company and led artistic forums in Boulder with renowned dancers, painters and artists. His intention was to transcend traditional boundaries between the disciplines, seeking to nurture new and innovative collaborations. At the same time, these artistic jam sessions gave Bruce the opportunity to display his own unique and experimental films, visuals and music to an adventurous audience.
While raising a family, Bruce channeled his creative energy into the corporate realm and pioneered cutting edge internet technologies as a consultant with large corporations, heading multiple creative teams on the forefront of innovation.
As a project of passion, Bruce co-founded WorldPuja.org, the first global prayer and meditation website. With new technology for streaming video and audio, WorldPuja hosted live, worldwide, prayers for world peace in collaboration with spiritual leaders from Deepak Chopra to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The peace meditations, with thousands of participants, were so successful that WorldPuja was contacted by Princeton Universities’ Global Consciousness Project (www.noosphere.princeton.edu). According to the study, which seeks to measure changes in global consciousness and energy, there were recurring energy surges in conjunction with each meditation.
During this period, influenced and encouraged by the success of intention and energy on consciousness, Bruce built a music studio and spent years experimenting with the power of music and visuals in live meditation sessions throughout New York and the Northeast. His endeavors culminated with his album Painted Symphonies, so named because of the colors of Indian Raga tonalities corresponding with the Chakras of the body. Painted Symphonies was received enthusiastically by yoga practitioners, healers, and massage therapists from around the country and furthered Bruce’s confidence in the power of improvisational art.
Recently, Bruce has discovered the power of the “digital canvas” and creates symphonies of visceral color. His philosophy remains:
“I love the blank canvas and create my art in one sitting. I feel this technique brings my audience inside the sacred moment of creativity and shares with them all the wonders of limitless creation that stand before an artist.”
