Richard Bruce Arthur (2 November 1921 – 22 March 1998) was an Australian freestyle wrestler who won a silver medal in the middleweight division at the 1950 British Empire Games; he finished fourth in 1954.

[1] In the 1950s, Arthur joined the artist colony at Dunmoochin in rural Victoria owned by Clifton Pugh where he learnt to weave and became fascinated by the process.

After heading to far north Queensland, Arthur, with wife and fellow artist-weaver, Deanna Conti,[2] established a tapestry atelier, Brudea Studio, on Timana Island, off the Cassowary Coast in Rockingham Bay.

In the early days of the Atelier, his main role was making looms and the dyeing of wool.
