About Stephen:
A native Californian, Stephen Bruce was influenced by art and nature at an early age. Stephen’s medium of preference is copper, although he appreciates the beauty and unique characteristics of all aging metals.
Stephen describes his work as, “Copper is my canvas and patinas are my pigments”. Stephen is self-taught and over the years has experimented with different chemical formulas, timing and the results on copper.
Each patina develops spontaneously and Stephen is left with the challenge of creating the perfect environment to obtain his unique artistic vision.
