Bruce W. Nelson

Bruce W. Nelson makes his home beside the salmon streams and mountains on Kodiak Island. As an avid outdoorsman, Bruce’s 21 years in Alaska have seen him employed as a longeshoreman, an assistant big game guide and as a skipper of a commercial fishing vessel, in addition to his work as an artist.

Bruce likes each of his paintings to be different. Through changes in style, technique and media, his works might be whimsical, surreal, realistic or anywhere from humorous to serious.

His primary medium is oil, but colored pencil, markers, acrylics and watercolors often find themselves on his palette.

Northern Exposure Gallery carries a wide selection of Bruce’s available prints, posters and cards, as well as framed original oil paintings.
