Bruce Buchanan

Bruce Buchanan was born in Brisbane. He studied art at the Central Technical College and developed his watercolour technique during his university architectural training. He is now the director of an architectural practice but also paints on a regular basis.

His work is influenced by first-hand experience of the Outback and of coastal areas such as Moreton Bay. He is also interested in interpreting forms and tonal contrasts of structures within the context of the urban and industrial landscape.

His work has been acquired for several public collections, including Stanthorpe and Ipswich Regional Gallery, private and corporate collections throughout Australia and he was the winner of the prestigious 2004 Wagstaff Piling National Art Prize.
