Chad Pollpeter was born and raised in the mid-west. He attended school at Florida State University, from which he graduated in 1994 with a degree in Art Education. After earning his degree, he moved to Virginia where he continued painting and began teaching art. In the summer of 2000, Pollpeter relocated to Central Florida, where he currently teaches traditional art classes at Full Sail University. He continues to exhibit his work and has collectors throughout the country and abroad.

Pollpeter paints intuitively, in doing so the meaning of the painting develops with the painting itself. His paintings tend to be about emotion. Not the outer influences that trigger our emotions, but rather the result of such triggers. One of the main underlying concepts in his paintings is that one thing affects everything else. Everything is cyclical and revolving. Nothing is isolated. Everything revolves and involves everything else. Much of his work depicts organic and natural type forms that surround and envelop the faces and figures in the paintings. This is to illustrate how we are tied to and grow from our environment. There is a rhythm to life, but this rhythm is easily disrupted. This is reflective of how, no matter how much we try to control our environment, our lives, our world, that we can really only react, adjust, and continue to move forward.
