After receiving a National Scholastic Gold Medal, Paul Schulenburg earned a BFA in painting at Boston University School of Fine Arts where he studied with Joseph Ablow, Philip Guston, Sidney Hurwitz and John Wilson. Contrary to trends of the 70's, Boston University provided an educational foundation that emphasized the fundamentals of classical art training: anatomy and form, color, composition and draftsmanship.

For 20 years, Paul created award-winning art for publication worldwide. His client list includes: Digital Equipment Corporation, Cigna, Fidelity Investments, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lucent Technologies, Sunoco, TIME, U.S. News and World Report, The Wall Street Journal, Columbia Journalism Review, Cahners, Prentice Hall, Houghton Mifflin and Ziff-Davis. Paul is a First Place award-winning member of the Copley Society of Boston.

Mr. Schulenburg was commissioned by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum to create a portrait of museum trustee Eliot Forbes. The portrait was a gift to Mr. Forbes and is part of his personal collection. The Cape Cod Museum of Art has featured two solo exhibitions of Paul’s figurative work. Schulenburg’s work has received numerous national awards and can be found in prestigious collections throughout the United States, in Canada, Europe and Hong Kong.
