Artist in Residence: Ali Bruce





Inspired by the transformative process of cutting, sanding, and painting wood, Bruce is continually intrigued by the material’s strength and tangibility. In her practice, she seeks to find a sense of lightness in contrast to weight, blending painting and sculpture.

Ali Bruce is a visual artist based in Vancouver. In 2014, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University and shortly after received a certificate in Communication Design from BCIT. Bruce has worked independently as a graphic illustrator, tattoo and mural artist. Currently, she is focusing more on her painting and studio practice. By juxtaposing playfulness with perfectionism, she explores themes of youthful curiosity, purpose, pain, and beauty.
