Bart Soutendijk designs and builds custom wire wall art – a favorite drawing medium -- for public, commercial, and residential locations. His wire wall hangings are the final step in a simplification process that starts with a client-suggested description, pencil sketch, photograph, or group of photographs. He makes and remakes a digital drawing (making it as continuous a line drawing as possible) to emphasize only the essence of the subject, then, like the poet who reviews every word, he re-examines every turn and curve as he bends the wire into a wire wall sculpture. The final installation of the wire wall piece, a solid line in space in front of a moving shadow, has scale enough to suit a large wall without dominating the room. Bart's wire wall decor has been exhibited in many galleries and museums.

Bart also makes full color botanical illustrations of native Texas plants using photographs as his resource. He takes photos of plants on and around his land in East Texas, then assembles them on a computer and uses the result as his guide to draw and color the final botanical drawings. His work has been purchased by collectors from all over the world.
