———————————————————————

Kim Bruce established a successful design firm in 1983 specializing in image development and store planning. Clients included national and local chains such as The Forzani Group (Sport Chek), Nevada Bob’s, Lammle’s Western Wear , Grabbajabba, Boutique of Leathers and many other boutique style stores.  Throughout these years, she pursued formal art instruction through a varied curriculum, studying under many established artists at The Alberta College of Art & Design and The University of Calgary. She has been exhibited at The Triangle Gallery, Profiles Public Art Gallery and Harcourt House, as well as, R & F Gallery in New York state and has twice been included in the collection of The Alberta Foundation for the Arts.

Today Kim works full time at her art; as well as with artists to develop and maintain their websites. Kim runs Artbiz Web Design where she develops content management systems and trains artists and galleries to maintain their own websites.

Kim lives and works in the foothills of Alberta just outside the City of Calgary.
