David Schuppert
I graduated from high school in 1965 and enrolled in The School of Art & Design in Philadelphia which was a 4 year program taught by professional artists. In 1969, I joined the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam. I was given the opportunity to work on art during this time and worked primarily in oil pastel and graphite. After discharge in 1972, I opened Pine Hollow Art Studio and began a career in art & illustration. My first commission was to create 28 drawings of the covered bridges in Columbia County, PA, which were printed into a set of prints for the 1976 Bicentennial. Over the years, I've worked in many different creative venues including natural science illustration, children's books, textbooks, displays, magazines, etc. I was represented by Creative Freelancers in NY and eventually worked for a major publisher as art department supervisor where I retired in 2013. Favorite subjects are wildlife and nature.
