David R. Beittel, the eldest son of Alice and Donald Rettew Beittel, was born December 30, 1947 in New Jersey. He graduated in 1966 from Moorestown Friends School and received B.A.'s in English and Art at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. In his freshman year, he won the Hobart College Art Prize for his painting "Errata". This encouraged him later to pursue a career in art. During his time at Hobart, David was profoundly influenced by his mentor, Marjorie Hall Cloutier, Instructor in Art and Assistant Dean and later Dean of William Smith, the coordinate college to Hobart.
