Welcome to my website. I currently live in beautiful Guilford, CT. After many artistcally productive years in Miami, Florida, I decided to move back to my original home, Connecticut. Joyfully, I have gottten back to work, after taking a long break. As an artist, I am strongly affected by my environment, the seasons, light, colors, subjects, and the times we live in. I work in many series, using different styles, looks, and mediums. This keeps me curious, inventive, and energized.

Life is truly a banquet! Enjoy.

Thank you, Bruce Tolman
