S7 E5: Bruce Arthurs on Storytelling Through Art


Welcome to Tea Toast and Trivia.


Thank you for listening in!


I am your host, Rebecca Budd, and I look forward to sharing this moment with you.


Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with my friend Bruce Arthurs, an extraordinary and innovative artist who has made a remarkable return to the world of creativity after spending over three decades away from his craft. 


Bruce’s first career led him to the executive levels of financial services, where he honed a keen analytical mind and a strategic approach to problem-solving.  I believe that this experience provided him with a unique perspective on the business of art. His journey back to art has been fueled by a passion for storytelling and a desire to capture the essence of his diverse travel experiences. His artwork is a vibrant representation of the cultures and mythologies he has encountered along the way.


Bruce infuses his work with a unique vibrancy that speaks to the heart of human experience. His action figures are more than mere collectibles; they are a celebration of the narratives that shape our understanding of the world. Through his art, Bruce invites viewers to explore the stories behind each piece, encouraging them to connect with the rich tapestry of history and imagination.


It is time to put the kettle on and join us in exploring the fascinating world of Bruce’s artistry and the inspirations that drive him.


Listeners thank you for joining Bruce to discuss creative journeys.  You can meet up with Bruce on Instagram.  You are only an internet click away from meeting up with remarkable characters and stories.   


A very special thank you, Bruce, for sharing your insights and passion with us. Your ability to blend artistry with storytelling encourages us all to reflect on our own narratives. Art is not just about what we see; it’s about the stories we tell and the connections we forge. 


Until next time, safe travels wherever your adventures lead you.
