Fundraising: Bruce Steinhoff

Renowned Canadian landscape artist Bruce Steinhoff has spent a lifetime capturing the breathtaking beauty of northern Ontario. Born in Simcoe and now residing in Port Dover, Bruce showed a natural talent for art from an early age. By the time he was just seven years old, he was drawing detailed portraits of friends and dreaming of becoming a professional artist. His love for the outdoors, especially the rugged and serene landscapes of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, became the central inspiration for his vivid and emotive paintings.

Though largely self-taught, Bruce also studied under noted artist Carl Schaefer, refining his craft and building a portfolio that would go on to be featured in prestigious galleries across Canada and in publications such as Chatelaine and Canadian Country Home. An avid traveler and adventurer, Bruce explored 31 countries by bike and foot, always seeking new perspectives and deeper connections to the natural world.

In 2018, Bruce was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Since then, he has made it his mission to give back by supporting others living with dementia. As a heartfelt gesture, Bruce now donates a portion of all artwork sales to the Alzheimer Society. Through his generosity and passion, Bruce continues to inspire and support the cause—helping us move toward a world without Alzheimer’s disease while preserving the beauty of the world through his art.
