Capturing the drama with light and shadow is what takes my breath away and fuels my passion to create. My inspiration, whether in watercolor, sculpture, or gilding, has come from studying and admiring the works of Winslow Homer, Charles Prendergast, Stanford White, Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth, Stephen Scott Young, and my father, Hubert Shuptrine. When I am quietly creating in my studio, I often hear my dad’s words of wisdom: “You must see and create beyond the surface level—art should evoke emotion.” As to why I must create, I usually refer to what Hopper said: “If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.” I frequently ask myself, even during brush strokes, if my painting will evolve into one which could evoke emotion – for without emotion, is there art?
