Judith Schuppien attended public schools in Milbridge, a small coastal town in Washington County, Maine. She won a scholarship to the University of Chicago, where she earned a BFA and MFA. She paints mainly in oils, but has also worked in pastels. Her loose, expressive style, often bold and colorful, presents familiar subjects in a fresh and interesting way. In her travels, she keeps an eye out for the occasional odd juxtaposition, an unusual point of view, and always, an emotional connection.
