Bro Halff is an artist and writer who is known for his watercolors and poetry. Born in 1946, he was raised in Texas. He lived in San Diego for twenty years, and still maintains an art gallery, The Bro Halff Gallery, and a publishing house, Simpler Gifts Press, in San Diego. Since 1972, he has pursued a career of writing, in several genres, including lyrical and visual poetry, and of painting and sculpting. The central theme of his lyrical poetry is the celebration of human diversity and of nature. His watercolors depict, with radiant colors and bold composition, rural, urban, and small-town America. His artworks have been routinely exhibited in galleries throughout the United States, have appeared in over 230 exhibits, and have won numerous awards. His volume of poetry and pen-and-ink drawings, Seasonal Delights, was published by the Mellen Poetry Press in 1999. In 2020, he completed two books of poetry, prose sketches, and watercolors of North Dakota, North Dakota Travels and North Dakota Days. His two books about San Diego, San Diego Days and San Diego Visions, are being released in 2021. Mr. Halff currently resides in Bismarck, North Dakota and on Kaua’i, in Hawaii.
