In the Apple Gallery:
Artist Bruce Burgess is a Stokes County artist focused on fine art,
illustration and murals. Since his earliest memories, Bruce has
found that with paper, pen or pencil, imaginative worlds and characters
materialize through doodles and sketches. This creative spark eventually
led him to study and graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University's
Communication Arts and Design Department with a focus on illustration.
Bruce was led by his passion for art to finish his Bachelor of Fine
Arts in Florence, Italy; where he continued studies in drawing,
painting and printmaking. For more information see our exhibits
