Alan Shuptrine

[4] In 2005, following the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, The New Orleans Museum of Art employed Shuptrine to make on-site repairs and restorations of the frames and gilded objects within the permanent collection.

[5] He has also provided extensive period restoration and conservation for Melrose Plantation at Natchez National Historical Park, The Philip Schutze Collection at the Atlanta History Center's historical Swan House, the Governor's Mansion of Georgia, the Governor's Mansion of South Carolina, the President James K. Polk Home and Museum, and Cheekwood Estate and Gardens (Nashville, TN).

[2] He also creates using egg tempera, oil paint, water gilding with genuine gold leaf, wood carving, and sgraffito.

[7] He prefers to handcraft and carve his own frames for his paintings, a practice of two of his influences: James McNeill Whistler, and Charles Prendergast.

His other influences include the works of his father, Hubert Shuptrine, Andrew Wyeth, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, Stephen Scott Young, and John Singer Sargent.

[4] Shuptrine was asked to participate in an exhibit, "In the Tradition of Wyeth: Contemporary Watercolor Masters", at the Vero Beach Museum of Art in 2010.

His solo exhibition opened at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville and celebrated the Celtic roots of the Appalachian Mountains.
