Bruce Morser, whose illustrious 45-year career as an artist and illustrator is being celebrated in a retrospective at the Vashon Center for the Arts (VCA), joins us for a conversation about one of his favorite topics: creativity. In this interview, we dive into why creativity matters, how it lives in all of us, and how Bruce’s own artistic expression has evolved over the decades.

For over 45 years, Bruce Morser has used the simplest of tools—a sharp pencil—to create an extraordinary body of work. From intricate technical illustrations and photorealistic dry-brush paintings to expansive 3D installations, his art is a conversation—an exploration of what we see in the world.

The  Vashon Center for the Arts retrospective exhibition highlights six major areas of Bruce

s career. spanning his early passion for encyclopedic drawings to his decades as a sought-after illustrator for clients like NASA, National Geographic, and Apple. Whether capturing human expression in portraiture, chronicling months-long bicycle adventures, or animating large-scale mechanical pieces with storytelling, Morser’s work is a testament to curiosity, creativity, and the endless possibilities of a” zillion little lines.”

Bruce is offering a presentation at VCA “A Talk on Creativity,” on Wednesday, April 16, at 7:30 PM.
