Bruce, who now is a long-time resident of Euroa, grew up in suburban Melbourne and divides his time between his Albert Park studio and the tranquil landscapes of Euroa, with its vistas toward Balmattum Hill.

The exhibition features a selection of impressionist and realist watercolours, showcasing our region’s landscapes, urban streetscapes and architecture.

Painted both in his studio and outdoors, the artworks capture the essence of his local surroundings.

Benalla Art Gallery, Benalla Botanical Gardens and Rotunda, Benalla Railway Station, the Victorian Hotel and North Eastern Hotel, and FCJ College are among the notable architectural landmarks featured in Bruce’s exhibition.

Bruce is a regular participant in group exhibitions, where he has received numerous awards.

Bruce has also held a number of successful solo exhibitions since he began watercolour painting in 2006, and is a member of the Watercolour Society of Victoria.

All works in the Gallery Shop are available for purchase from Benalla Art Gallery, or can be purchased by contacting the Gallery on 03 5760 2619 or gallery@benalla.vic.gov.au.
