With a practice spanning over three decades, Samuel Bartlett has established himself as an accomplished artist and has been featured in numerous gallery exhibitions and publications across the US and Europe.

After taking classes at Florida School of the Arts, Bartlett began his practice, with his first solo exhibition just a year later. Since that time, he has pursued studies at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and has showcased his work in numerous solo and group exhibitions. He continues to create new works in his studio in Jacksonville, Florida.
Works

In my practice I fuse non-traditional materials and found items, to break free from the confines of the canvas and give my pieces a more sculptural quality, occupying physical space and engaging with the environment. Nature and the passage of time are the key inspirations of my work. The organic forms, textures, and cycles of nature influence my artistic direction as well as the effects of time; weathering, decay, and growth, as they symbolize impermanence, transformation, and the cyclical nature of existence.
