Bruce Deitrick Price Bio

 

Bruce Price is a novelist, painter, poet and education activist.

Born in Norfolk, Va. Graduated from Norfolk Academy and Princeton (with Honors in English Literature). Two years in Army. Lived in Manhattan for many years. Author of four books. Operated small design firm (Word-Wise Creative)--which is still kicking. Has had seven solo art shows.

Returned to Norfolk in 1996. Focused on digital art and got in 35+ juried art shows in a dozen states. Wrecked left hand from so much digital, then explored drawing with right hand.

Aesthetic in all arts is somewhat avant-garde, playful, and experimental. First concern is beauty; second concern is to make something that nobody has seen before. The practices of a lifetime have culminated in the new paintings/constructions called Small Universes.

Aside from the arts, main activity is Improve-Education.org, which is now up to 30 articles and 50,000 words of original content about robots, sophistry, Latin, phonics, 1984, Pavlov, birds, English usage, design, and the foolish things that our education establishment does.

Articles about education also appear on many other sites.

Listed at one time in Who's Who in the East and Who's Who in Advertising. Member of PEN, Mensa, and AIGA (in New York).
