Bruce Ritchie

A life-long naturalist, Bruce Ritchie's graphic and photographic images have been published since his teen years. In the 1980ís he owned a graphics company in Toronto providing imaging on brass and other media. His work evolved into software development and computer imaging. In 2007 he led the Great FASD Horseback Ride and Trek across Canada, from Halifax to Victoria, photographing the country from coast to coast.
His work has encompassed oil and acrylic painting; digital, 35mm and large format still photography; computer imaging; video; sublimation dye imaging on metals and other materials; sculpture in soapstone, serpentine, metal and wood; jewellery design. He has pioneered new imaging technologies and continues to be an innovator.
Mixed media combines two or more art forms into a single expression of the artist's intent. Bruce's original images are digitized and edited using computer tools in the same manner as traditional techniques. The mixed media painting is created in archival pigments and acrylics on archival canvas. Taking advantage of the Fresnel effect, the acrylics give the image a rich, 3D quality.
