His work and educational adventures have taken him from merchandising/retailing the teaching of German and World Literature to a career in Audiology and the challenges of working with hard-of-hearing and deaf children and adults. Among his favorite academic subjects to teach were his offerings in sign language. In 1981 he discovered the magic of painting in transparent watercolors and has never stopped painting. Moving to sunny Arizona from the High Country of Colorado in 2003 caused a major shift in his subject matter changing from a primarily realistic orientation to one of total abstraction. Since his retirement from Academia Bruckner pursued his passions for travel art music and the enjoyment of writing.
