OPEN SEVEN DAYS

My journey is more important than the finished goal.
Born in Brisbane in 1942, Bruce Mercer started his artistic endeavours on concrete paths, using charcoal from his Mum’s laundry copper after wash day - and drawing on all the pathways.
In his teenage years Bruce took a course at the Technical College down George Street and studied commercial art for 4 years.  He worked at Allen & Stark in Queen Street and later at McWirther in Fortitude Valley as a window dresser and display artist.
Bruce has also sold artwork for book illustrations.  He enjoys working with acrylics and oils but works with other mediums as well, including pyrography.  (Come along to his demonstration on Sunday 14th March to find out more about this!)
Bruce takes his inspiration from man-made structures, nature, wild life, sunset skies, light and shadows and feels that if he can visualize walking into his subjects his artwork is completed.
“Artistically there is no ultimate goal - if perfection is ever achieved then my artistic journey is over for me,” says Bruce.

See Bruce demonstrating his art on Sunday 14th March at the Dayboro Art Gallery.  Tea and coffee will be served throughout the day.
