Shokler was a painter, educator and worked in wood cuts, wood engraving and in serigraphy, writing a book on the subject in 1946 - “Artist Manual for Silk Screen Printmaking”. He took art training in Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York and the Academy Colarossi in Paris. He taught in the Brooklyn Museum School and taught in serigraphy at Princeton and Columbia. Like Max Arthur Cohn, he was an early developer of artist silk screen work and at one time was president of the National Serigraph Society.

His exhibitions run from the mid-1920’s until the 1970’s.
