Bruce Horn

Drawing and painting became a routine part of life for Bruce Horn while growing up in Circleville, Ohio. The art instruction he received and the visits to art museums as a youngster were important influences. Bruce received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Miami University in 1968 and worked for a brief time as a package designer. His studies continued at Ohio State University where he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1970. Additional classes were also taken through the Scottsdale Artists’ School and the Fechin Institute. A career as an art educator began for Horn in 1970 at Blackburn College in Illinois. His teaching continued from 1972 until 1999 at Northern Arizona University, where he is an Emeritus Professor of Art. He taught a variety of subjects including painting, drawing, etching and lithography. Bruce lives with his wife, Pat, in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Artist Statement:

Bruce Horn’s artwork has been included in over two hundred professional exhibitions. In addition to local and regional shows, artwork has frequently been displayed in national juried exhibitions throughout the United States. Talking about his art, Bruce states, “My motivation comes from the humbling challenge of painting the subtle and elusive effects of light. Paintings that display a skilled, yet irreverently playful, manipulation of paint and brush are of particular interest to me. The virtuoso paintings of Anders Zorn, Joaquin Sorolla and John Singer Sargent are often flawlessly casual; their paintings combine the best of Impressionist color and light with the best of academic drawing and painting technique. They convey something authentic about the creative process as it relates to real life in fleeting time.” Additional paintings can be viewed by visiting Elk Run Studio at www.BruceHornArt.com.
