Bryce is a self-taught chalk-pastel artist and oil painter, staking his home in Boulder, Colorado, at the edge of the Rocky Mountains. Most of Bryce’s artworks are directly influenced by the current season. A growing awareness of the cycles of nature – of nurturing and cultivating, budding and blossoming, fruiting, harvesting, and letting go – has served to soften his lifelong (and maddening) obsession with perfectionism. Bryce also finds this letting go to be available in the surrender of the inhale into the exhale, the falling away of every thought and sensation and emotion, the inevitable death of every loved one, every being, every moment. Whether creating a temporary chalk artwork and erasing it at the end of the season, or birthing permanent pieces to be framed behind glass, Bryce’s awareness is increasingly illuminated by the temporality of the artwork he is breathing life into, and the undying source beneath each creative act. Inspiration for his work rises from the soil of experience. Engagement and depth of vision is cultivated through silence, meditation, qigong, kung fu, filipino bladefighting, time in nature, entheogenesis, husbanding, fathering, authentic-relating, and free-drawing. Artistic vision and skill is increased by doing the work, daily.
