Adam Schultz was born in Detroit, MI, in 1966. His bronze and stone sculptures have been placed all over America, including such noteworthy locations as Arlington National Cemetery, and in collections of people like Tommy Dorsey.

For the last 20 years, Adam has been living and sculpting in Loveland, Co. He has been commissioned to sculpt animals, portraits, memorials, and monuments for both private and corporate collections.

Adam’s body of work ranges from miniature to monumental, and currently includes his latest collection of bronze sculptures, the Goddess Series, a celebratory expression of ‘delightfully abundant’ figurative nudes.

It is so gratifying to me when I hear that my sculptures have inspired people – women in particular – to feel better about themselves.

Living Large

We are so inundated in this society with negative messages about anyone who doesn’t fit the nationally promoted and ‘narrow’ definition of beauty, that it’s sometimes hard to remember to see the beauty in the wondrous uniqueness, and incredible variety found in people all around us.

This attitude we have these days of being ‘skinny’ rather than ‘healthy’ has led to problems of bulimia, anorexia, and actual prejudice between people. It is one of the only forms if discrimination left in this country that is actually still politically correct. Very sad. And harmful to our youth…imagine what our culture would be like if our children grew up feeling good about themselves for who they are instead of being persecuted for what they look like…

In an effort to help promote a more inclusive attitude toward healthy living and beauty in general, I’m starting a project using my artwork to promote a culture of size acceptance and tolerance around the world.

My dream is to install a large-scale, celebratory, and beautifully abundant sculpture wrought in bronze, in every country on the planet.

By placing these beautiful, size-positive monumental sculptures all over the place, I believe that we can raise awareness about some of the problems we’ve created due to this national campaign to crush all that is not thin, as well as to help people look at others and at themselves in a new, more positive way.

Artwork has a power to communicate ideas like nothing else does. The more size-positive images of people we place out there, the sooner we can challenge people’s prejudices by showing them the beauty of abundance, of variety, of themselves.

We will change the world.
