Artist Statement
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.
