Born in 1968 Bart Rulon lives and works on Whidbey Island in Washington State's Puget Sound. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Kentucky in a self-made scientific illustration major. He graduated with honors and became a full-time artist, focusing on wildlife and landscape subjects, specializing in birds.

Rulon's works have been exhibited in many of the finest exhibitions, museums and galleries displaying wildlife and landscape art in the United States, Canada, Sweden, Japan, and England. His paintings have been included in thirteen exhibitions with the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, including ten times with the Birds in Art exhibit and one each in their Wildlife: The Artist's View, Natural Wonders, and Art and the Animal exhibits. His work has been chosen for the Society of Animal Artists' annual exhibition Art and the Animal for all nine years since he became a member. His paintings have been included in the Arts for the Parks Top 100 exhibition and national tour seven times, and in 1994 he won their Bird Art Award. Other recent awards include the Henderson Area Arts Alliance Award at the 2000 Kentucky National Wildlife Art Exhibit, Featured Artist for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in 2001, and the Audubon Alliance Artist of the Year Award for 1998. His paintings of birds are included in the permanent collections of the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, the Bennington Center for the Arts, and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.

Rulon is the author and illustrator of the books Painting Birds Step by Step (1996), Artist's Photo Reference: Birds (1999), Artist's Photo Reference: Water & Skies (2002), and Artist's Photo Reference: Wildlife (to be published in 2003), all published by North Light Books. His work has been featured in four other North Light Books: Wildlife Painting Step by Step (Patrick Seslar 1995), The Best of Wildlife Art (edited by Rachel Rubin Wolf, 1999), The Keys to Painting Fur & Feathers (edited by Rachel Rubin Wolf, 1999), and Painting the Faces of Wildlife Step by Step (Kalon Baughan, 2000). His work is also included in the book Wildlife Art (Rockport Publishers, 1999). Currently he is writing and illustrating another book, featuring bird painting and photography, that will be published by North Light Books in 2004. Rulon's paintings have been featured on the cover and in the interior of many Bird Watcher's Digest issues. His illustrations of seabirds appear in the field guide All the Birds of North America (HarperCollins, 1997), and he was commissioned to paint a variety of birds for A Guide to the Birds of the West Indies (Princeton University Press, 1998).

Rulon's primary interest is in experiencing his subjects firsthand in the wild. He focuses on painting subjects and scenes he has experienced in the wild rather than trying to paint animals he's only seen in captivity. Rulon prides himself on the time he spends in the field researching his subjects, because this is what he enjoys the most about being an artist. His travels have taken him to new places every year including long trips to Africa, India, South America, and Alaska, and he has been all over the contiguous United States and Canada. On many of these field trips he uses a sea kayak or a custom made floating blind as tools to experience the behaviors of wildlife up close. Rulon says "all this extra effort pays off in the long run because I get to see the intimate details of an animal's life that most people never see." Its that personal experience that inspires him to re-create an image for others to enjoy, more than the act of painting itself.
