About the Artists...

Born in New York, Bruce Hunter grew up in France where he discovered a love of art and architectural art as well as an affinity for things in nature, explaining the themes of his artwork. Bruce returned to New York to attend Pratt Institute, where he received a BFA degree. His early background includes working at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill as an architectural model-maker and as a highly respected craftsman in the miniatures world.

Mr. Hunter is an award-winning artist who exhibits all over the country. His painting talent encompasses a broad range, including oils, watercolors and pastels. His topics range anywhere from nature to architecture, but the striking attention to detail in all of his paintings is always consistent and apparent as it draws you in for a closer look, enveloping the viewer in the richness and color, blended with the natural setting and realism of the subject. Mr. Hunter's ability to make the viewer feel a part of the painting has resulted in his artwork being held in private collections throughout the United States and Europe as well as earned him many exhibition awards.
