Bruce Tolman

Ponds have become my muses; they are a soothing gentle stage from which I derive my paintings, in which I seek the tranquility I find in Nature.
--Bruce Tolman

"Bruce Tolman vigorously transforms his meditative moods into abstract, vibrant and brilliantly colorful images inviting the spectator into contemplative journeys."

His process has taken him years to develop, combining both painting techniques with glazes of color applied by dripping paint or allowing the paint to run, adding texture and depth.

Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Bruce Tolman studied at Boston University and the Philadelphia College of Art, where he earned his BFA. He has lived in Miami for over a decade, spending the summers in New York. His work has been featured in Architectural Digest and can be seen in numerous private collections and corporate collections, including the Neiman-Marcus Collection.
