I'm Bart Schultz. I'm a self-taught contemporary artist living in Richmond, Virginia. Over the years I've experimented with a number of art forms, most often related to scultpure in one form or another. Several years ago I started playing around with masking tape. Somehow it all turned into a full-time gig.

While I have a great appreciation for American folk art, self-taught southern artists and outsiders, as well as many contemporary artists, I've worked hard to create and develop my own style of work, never mimicking the work of others.

Defining the style of my work is something that I'll leave to others. Some would classify it as folk art - others have called it contemporary with a pop influence. To me it makes no difference. I make what I make, experimenting everyday with new ideas and techniques, and if I find one person who appreciates the end result, I'm good to go.

I live from the sale of my art work and travel several times each year to different galleries and retail venues. My upcoming exhibitions are listed on the corresponding link above.  I also sell work through this website and through a local gallery in Richmond, VA.
