Artist Bio – Bruce Budd
Bruce Budd is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the balance between control and vulnerability.

A graduate of the College of Saint Rose with a BFA, Bruce has over 15 years of experience in design, grounded in strong visual communication. His fine art leans into representational expressionism, often focusing on the human form and expressive mark-making.
