“Chosen Journey” Print by Bruce Botts
“Chosen Journey” — Small Framed Print
Artist: Bruce Botts
“Chosen Journey” is a small framed print that captures the distinctive, graphic spirit of beloved Lopez artist Bruce Botts. Strong black lines, torn-edged fields of color, and layered shapes create a scene that feels part abstract, part story-in-the-making. You might glimpse animal-like forms, a fin, a lifted tail, a watchful moon and scattered stars—just enough suggestion to invite your imagination in.
The piece has the feel of collage: blocks of color with rough, organic edges set against areas of dark and light, giving it both energy and a sense of depth despite its modest size. It’s the kind of image that rewards repeat viewing—small but striking, and full of personality.
Bruce’s prints have long been cherished in Lopez homes, and with him no longer making new work, pieces like this have become especially meaningful to collectors and community members alike. “Chosen Journey” is a chance to bring home a bit of that history: a compact, bold work that reflects both his playful visual language and his enduring presence in island life.
