Elspeth Schulze

Elspeth Schulze (b. 1985, Grand Coteau, LA) is a studio artist based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Schulze makes sculptural wall works that marry ornament with architecture, pairing geometric structure with organic, often plant-based forms. Her practice combines wood, ceramic and textile processes and pairs digital fabrication with traditional methods of making. Schulze holds an MFA in ceramics from the University of Colorado Boulder, a degree in fashion design from the Fashion Institute of Technology New York, and a BA in literature and visual art from Loyola University, New Orleans. She is an alum of the Tulsa Artist Fellowship in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Stove Works Artist Residency in Chattanooga, TN. Recent exhibition venues include Oklahoma Contemporary in Oklahoma City, OK, Wasserman Projects in Detroit, MI, Tinney Contemporary in Nashville, TN, Abigail Ogilvy Gallery in Los Angeles, CA and Spring Break Art Fairs in NY and LA. Her work can be found in the collections of the Tweed Museum of Art, Fidelity Investments, and the George Kaiser Family Foundation.
