Alan Fetterman is an American plein air impressionist oil painter from Bucks County in Pennsylvania.[1] He began painting professionally after a trip to the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, when he was 35 years old.[2]
Alan Fetterman was born September 8, 1958, to a military family, moving to Bucks County in 1963.[3] He graduated from Central Bucks East High School in 1976, and he received degree in American Studies from Bucks County Community College in 1998. He is a Kay Scholar in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, earned in 2008.[2] Before becoming a painter, Fetterman worked in construction. He sketched during trips to different parts of the world, and he decided to begin painting professionally after a ten-hour visit to the Louvre.[3]
As of 2015, Fetterman's works had appeared in more than 30 solo exhibitions.[4] In November 2017, the Heritage Conservancy opened its Aldie Mansion headquarters to an exhibit of Fetterman art works re-imagining the 1908 children's book The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame. Fetterman's paintings and drawings depicted its characters in Bucks County, instead of their original Thames Valley setting.[5][6]
