Join us at the library on Monday, September 29 at 6 p.m. for an intimate and thought-provoking event with local artist and former Navy SEAL, David Bruce. This evening will feature a unique blend of photographs, paintings, and prints from his experiences in the Middle East, offering a rare perspective from a Woods Hole native who has traversed diverse career paths, from oil field roughneck to Navy officer, bounty hunter, and now, oil painter. Throughout the presentation, David will share how his personal struggles with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have shaped his creative process. Drawing on insights from his own journey of learning to balance impulsivity, procrastination, and the push to complete meaningful work, he’ll discuss how art became a tool for overcoming ADHD and how the discipline of painting ultimately became a source of personal growth and fulfillment. The evening promises not only to showcase captivating art but to spark conversations on creativity, mental health, and the transformative power of art. Whether you are an art enthusiast, someone who has experienced ADHD firsthand, or simply curious about the intersections of personal history and creativity, this event offers a powerful and inspiring message.
