World-renowned
Caribbean Artist
Bruce Smith's life
is as colourful as his art. He has spent years in the Caribbean
sketching and painting local culture while living aboard his
sailboat. He has sailed up and down the chain of islands capturing
his favourite subjects. He is one of the best-known Caribbean
artists, and his self-taught native style can be seen throughout the
Caribbean.
An experienced
mariner, Bruce has had a life long love of the sea, and even spent
time helping build boats and repairing sails while living in the
Caribbean. Bruce and his wife Jan are currently sailing back through
the Caribbean after being in the states for the past decade painting
for Bahama Breeze, a chain of Caribbean restaurants.
Bruce’s trademark
medium is enamel paint on wood. It gives his work its distinctively
bold colour and depth and makes his paintings truly representative of
Caribbean life and culture.
