“Imagery travels through my head and materializes onto paper, copper panel, wood, or gilded panel. I am inspired by nature, the world around us, and how we fit into the ecosystem”
– Ben Shuptrine
He is the son of a nationally awarded artist-Alan Shuptrine-and the grandson of nationally acclaimed artist, Hubert Shuptrine (1936-2006). He has studied, experimented, and apprenticed with watercolor, oil, gold leaf, metals, wood, and many other mediums. Coming from a family of artists, he was taught from day one to look at the world through color, shadow, light, and dark. He is following in his father’s and grandfather’s artistic footsteps; but Ben is establishing himself as an artist in his own right.
