Harley Bartlett was born in 1959 near Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. He was educated at the University of Pennsylvania (BA, 1981) and followed up with studies at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. However, having lived in Rhode Island for most of his life he considers himself a Rhode Islander. Bartlett has broad experience in the art world, exhibiting his paintings in New England galleries for over 30 years. His paintings may be found in many public and private collections. He has been commissioned to create paintings for the Amica Insurance Company, the East Greenwich Yacht Club, the Warwick Country Club and the Harvard Club, portraits of governors and mayors, as well as countless private commissions. Harley Bartlett’s paintings are known for their finely crafted compositions and subtle coloring. His brushwork and paint application is evocative of American and European paintings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition to his poetic landscape and coastal paintings, he delves into the allied fields of sporting and marine art.To see more of Harley's work, visit his website.
