Bruce Dolsen is a fine artist from Vancouver and Galiano Island, British Columbia, Canada. Bruce works primarily with watercolours, woodcuts and linoprints and acrylics. His detailed and beautiful depictions of the hidden corners of the west coast of British Columbia are favourites of the locals and constitute the majority of his current work. Brilliant images from the Galapagos islands provide a fascinating comparison and evoke a sense of connectiveness between island communities. 

Here on this site, explore Bruce's past and current works, read his blog and connect with other Island artists and galleries. Welcome!
