Dennis M. Bruce

Dennis M. Bruce was born in Lestock, Saskatchewan to the Muskowekwan Band (Saulteaux) He is an artist who has ventured beyond his peoples traditional artistic styles to find himself on the leading edge in the contemporary scene of Canadian aboriginal art. Using traditional symbols such as the eagle, the buffalo, the warrior, the mother and child, Dennis stays true to his heritage, however, his use of colour and line is masterfully unique. There is a fluidity of motion that carries throughout his warrior theme. His sense of family is strong. Huge canvasses carry his defiant style. His Storyteller sheds light on his own story, into his own people and his own unique heritage.

After three years of teaching clinics throughout Saskatchewan and Edmonton, Dennis presently resides in Vancouver, BC, where his art continues to flourish.
