字穆倩、朽民，号垢区、青溪、垢道人、野全道者、江东布衣，明末诸生。歙县（今属安徽）人，生于松江华亭（今上海松江）。程邃早年是一位品学兼优的才俊。曾拜华亭名士陈继儒门下程邃从眉公学，不惟学画，实亦学其品格和学问。同时，也从眉公处结识了黄道周。明末清初，社会动荡，矛盾丛生，狐朋狗党，狼狈为奸。程邃为人，诚实正直，品质端悫，崇尚气节，不与阮大铖、马士英等奸党同流合污，而和清初著名的戏剧理论家李渔、大学者朱彝尊交谊甚契，结为挚友，为此招来不少横祸。他曾因议论颇关朝廷之事，被流寓白门十余年。嗣后又因说了“马士英眼多白，必将乱天下”等语，再遭马士英、阮大铖之流的中伤迫害，幸得陈子龙的调护，才免遭毒手。

程邃和淮安的万寿祺，同师事陈徵君，诗文、书画、金石，无不精究，为明末书法家黄道周所器重。他的诗文，信笔写就，若不经意，幽涩奥折，自成一体，曾作浩歌一篇，杜濬、魏禧、朱彝尊等均为之序跋。行书、隶书、篆书俱佳，颇负盛名。穆倩善作山水，主张以画抒情，曾在一画上题道：“ 仆性好丘壑，故镌刻之暇，随意挥洒，以泄胸中意态，非敢云能事者也”。他的画，纯用枯笔渴墨，模糊蓊郁，苍茫简远，乾皴中含苍润，别具韵味，古人给予很高评价。杨孟载曾评论：“黄子久画，如老将用兵，不立队伍，而颐指气使，无不如意，惟垢道人能之”。王昊庐亦称颂：“张璪有生枯笔，润含春泽，乾裂秋风，惟穆倩得之”。程邃精篆刻，善书画，工诗词。篆刻效法秦汉，首创朱文仿秦小印，又博采何震(皖派)、文彭(吴派)诸家之长，融会贯通，自成一派，人称“歙派”。作品淳古苍雅，章法严谨，笔意奇古。每作一印必求精到，稍不如意，则磨去重作。画学黄于久，中年后自成一格，纯用枯笔，干皴中含苍润，杨孟载评论说：“黄子久画，如老将用兵，不立队伍，而颐指气使，无不如意，惟垢道人能之”。王昊庐亦言：“张璨有生枯笔，润含春泽。干裂秋风，惟穆倩得之”。行书、隶书、篆书俱佳；诗文有奇气。著有《萧然吟》诗集等。善鉴别，家藏名画、古器甚多。现代黄宾虹评其画有“千裂秋风，润含春雨”之趣。

书法不蹈袭古人，尤工分书，长于金石考证，亦精医道。崇祯十三年（ 1640 ） 尝作同《仿黄子久深岩飞瀑图》轴，著录于《知鱼堂书画录》传世作品有康熙十三年（ 1640 ）为王时敏作《山水图》轴，藏上海博物馆。著有《会心吟》 。
