Maryland Art Place (MAP) in partnership with Zekes’ Coffee Shop is excited to announce a solo exhibition featuring artwork by the late Bonnie Schupp curated in her loving memory by her surviving husband, David Ettlin. 

Bio: BONNIE SCHUPP was raised in northeast Baltimore’s Four-by-Four neighborhood off Belair Road, and was a February 1963 graduate of old Eastern High School. She earned her undergraduate degree at Frostburg, a master’s at Johns Hopkins and her doctorate in communications design – at age 60 – from the University of Baltimore.

Bonnie began taking pictures at age 7, with an aunt’s gift of a little Kodak camera. Over a span of seven decades, she never stopped – although her cameras became ever more sophisticated and expensive. She was a junior high/middle school teacher in the city from 1967 to about 1974, and in Anne Arundel County from 1988 to 2003. In between, she owned a camera store in Severna Park and for six years wrote a weekly column on photography for the Baltimore Evening Sun, Prescott (Ariz.) Courier and South Bend (Ind.) Tribune. She also managed to raise two daughters. 

Her awards over the years included $4,000 for second place in the Kodak International Newspaper Snapshot Awards (KINSA) in 1970, and honorable mentions in contests by Women in Photography International – one of them for a photograph taken as she was giving birth to her daughter in 1980.

Bonnie self-published six books, most of them combining her writing and photography. Notable among them are Dog Tag Poetry (2012, Blurb),  and 365 Gifts (2016, Amazon). A memoir, Curious Possibilities, which Bonnie completed writing three weeks before her death from pancreatic cancer in 2021, was edited and published through Amazon by her husband, retired journalist David Ettlin.

Join us on Wednesday, December 18 from 4 PM to 6 PM for the opening reception and birthday celebration of Bonnie Schupp.The exhibition will run November 27 - January 30, 2025 and will be on view at Zeke’s Coffee located at 4719 Harford Rd. Please see Zeke's website for hours of operation to view the exhibition.
