Living and working in the Pacific Palisades for the past 14 years has been an honor and a privilege. This community is a rare gem—a tight-knit place where neighbors feel like family, and children can walk around safely. My partner grew up here, and so has our daughter. After returning from Switzerland, I was fortunate to open my art gallery in this wonderful town. However, the recent fires have left our community devastated. Many of my friends, clients, and neighbors have lost their homes and businesses. The impact has been heartbreaking and overwhelming.

I’m setting up this GoFundMe to help navigate the financial uncertainty of the months ahead as I work to rebuild. While it’s hard to predict what the future holds, we hope to remain close to the Palisades for now, as our daughter is still in high school here. In the meantime, I plan to continue to operate my gallery online while we regroup and figure out the next steps.

Your support would mean the world to us as we work to rebuild our lives and community. We’re keeping everyone affected in our prayers and sending love and strength during these incredibly challenging times. Thank you for helping us get through this period of uncertainty.

With gratitude and hope,

Bruce
