Peter Clapham Sheppard ARCA OSA (1882-1965) Born in Toronto on October 21, 1882, Peter C. Sheppard would go on to study at the Ontario Collage of Art where, like many of the finest artists of his generation, he received an artistic education from George Reid, John William Beatty, and William Cruickshank. He had a very successful career as a student at OCA winning both the Sir Edmund Walker Scholarship in 1912 and the Stone Scholarship for Life Classes in 1913, going on to graduate with honours for painting, drawing and composition. As a youth, he had also served apprenticeships in the commercial engraving houses of Toronto which resulted in his skill as a printmaker. He was a regular exhibitor in the Royal Canadian Academy, the Ontario Society of Artists and Canadian National Exhibition, and his work was among those selected by the National Gallery of Canada for important international shows. He would later teach at the OSA summer school, and in his later years, he and his work were cared for by Canadian artist Bernice Fenwick Martin. He passed away in Toronto on April 24, 1965. His work can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National War Museum and many private collections across Canada.
