Bali Center for Artistic Creativity & Bruce Sherratt Gallery of Tropical Surrealism

I’ve visited Bali many times and this time, my purpose was learning painting in Ubud and I was confident that BCAC is the right choice. I read posts and reels from the Instagram of BCAC and enrolled 3 classes. 🌷
In fact, I was a little bit afraid to fill empty canvas with still life, landscape or people.
But my first class with Bruce completely made me free. He was a teacher for international school in many countries and has in-depth knowledge about art therapy and a lot of experience for teaching various people in Bali.
Bruce said to me, "Do not think," and at that moment I felt at ease, and began to draw without hesitation.
Thanks to his guidance, I was able to draw as my hands and mind wanted and the result was so satisfying. 😍
After finishing 3 classes, I enrolled 3 more classes. I was so pleased because my paintings reflected my unconscious, soul and dream.
Also the atmosphere and the vibe in his studio were really inspiring!! Bruce’s amazing surreal paintings on red & yellow colored wall, big window with sunlight and pleasant music!!! 🌷
Class with Bruce was so fun! He is humorous and witty and understands my inner part from my paintings. He always listens to my words and gives wonderful advice.
👍👍👍
Taking 6 classes, I was able to broaden my perspective on art.
These days, I enjoy drawing the subject I want. I feel myself recharged through the process of drawing and it’s a big healing experience.
I decided to have 3 more classes in late July!
So excited!!! It’s a true art therapy. 😊😊😊
Big thanks to my teacher, Bruce🙏🙏🙏

My 2 lessons so far with Bruce have exceeded my expectations. First lesson on steiner color theory, second on portraits. Cant wait for third on oil painting! His background in art, teaching and psychology are very evident in his skillful, thoughtful and generous teaching. He is there with you every step of the way. It is changing the way I see the world, and then reflect it. Thank you Bruce.

This experience with Bruce and Anita was fabulous. Bruce is a great teacher and interesting to talk to about his work - he clearly is an expert in bringing the creativity out in others. I had a great time and learnt a huge amount. Highly recommended - thank you

I did the 1-week learning program and had a great experience studying here. The teacher was very supportive and taught me a lot of important things. Overall, I am more than satisfied with the experience.

I attended several classes with Bruce. He's a warm and irreverent storyteller and artist 🎨

Wow, I was very excited for my art therapy class for the second session, after my Mum passed away, and was looking for a place to heal my soul. This was until Bruce very very abrasively told me to "GET OUT" when I was late for 15 minutes, and asked me about my financial situation very rudely. Class was good for the first time, but Bruce's attitude is shocking.
