David Suter was born in Bethesda, Maryland in 1949. His father was a bureaucrat who worked in Washington D.C., but his mother was an artist. Suter was drafted into the Army and was stationed in Germany. Upon returning to Washington D.C., David Suter got a job working as a courtroom artist during the Watergate trials. His drawings appeared in the Washington Post, Harper’s Bazaar, and other publications, with his style becoming well known enough that his illustrations were known as “suterisms”. Suter now lives in Amagansett, New York with his wife and three daughters.
