Bill Bruce was a member of Fig Tree Gallery for several decades. He was well known for always jumping out of the box and trying something new. His work included paintings, sculpture, and mixed media (huge boats, oars, masks, shredded paper, construction findings, cardboard, plywood, and so on). He used automotive paint and spray paint to achieve a wide range of finishes. Bill’s exhibits were always surprising, often humorous, colorful, bold, and experimental. He was an inspiration for many and will be dearly missed. 

​

There will be a memorial service for Bill at St. Anthony Church at 10 a.m. on Friday, the 31st of July. His art will be for sale in his gallery at 1752 Van Ness Avenue during Art Hop on Thursday, Aug, 6th from 5 to 8:00 pm.
