Matthew M. Schulz traces his interest in painting to early experiences exploring the salt marshes of Barnstable, Massachusetts, and the woods of Maine with his grandfather. He writes, “I was always interested in color and light, even as a child, and I believe that it was my mother who first recognized and helped me cultivate my love for both.” Schulz initially focused on wildlife before expanding his work to include nautical and sporting scenes as well as landscapes. Among the artists he has cited as influences are Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth.
Schulz earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in studio art from the University of New Hampshire, Durham, with concentrations in painting and printmaking. His paintings have won numerous awards, and he has been featured in American Art Collector Magazine, Cape Cod Life, and the Artists’ Magazine. Schulz is a member of the Salmagundi Club in New York and owns and operates The Schulz Gallery in Osterville, Massachusetts.
