Harley W. Bartlett, owner of Thomas Street Studios, Ltd., studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts. As a professional artist, his representational style lends itself well to both the mural and easel painting. He has exhibited widely throughout southern New England, including exhibitions at the Providence Art Club, the Bert Gallery in Providence, and in Massachusetts at the Francesa Anderson Gallery in Concord and the Granary Gallery of West Tisbury. His works are included in both private and corporate collections.

Since 1986, he has painted murals for Evergreene Painting Studios, including the Lost City Project, Bophuthatswana, Republic of South Africa. Bartlett has also painted several murals designed by Richard Haas, including the Kansas City Federal Courthouse; Federal Regulatory Building in Washington, DC and five State Building Lobbies in Florida. These are just a few of the over 200 projects to which Bartlett has applied his skills.

Bartlett has contributed to numerous restoration projects for the state capital and historical buildings including state Capital buildings of Michigan, Iowa, Tennesee and Rhode Island; as well as the Cincinnati Historical Society; Iowa Historical Building and the Portland Historical Society. He has also restored artwork for several churches including Grace Episcopal Church on Martha’s Vineyard, and St. Augustin (Newport), St. Leo the Great (Pawtucket), St. Matthew’s (Central Falls), First Presbyterian (Newport) and St. Rocco’s (Johnston) in Rhode Island.

In 1995, Bartlett co-founded Thomas Street Studios, and today is sole proprietor of the mural and decorative painting studio in Pawtucket, RI. He directs a team of fine artists — several of whom graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design — all of whom bring with them years of training and experience in many areas of specialty painting and restoration.
