ABOUT COPPER AND
HER ART

Painting in Ghost Town of Terlingua, Texas

Copper has been painting in plein-air since the '70s. "Have Palette, Will Travel" is her motto, carrying her easel, painting around the world. She also paints in studio for more detailed realistic style. Creating paintings invoking memories, good feelings, peace... are her goals.

Majoring in Art for three years in college she then switched, earning a degree in Recreation and a minor in Art, with the dream of working for the National Park Service.

She has been frequenting the Texas Big Bend area since 1970, challenging herself in capturing the light and soul of that vast, magical region.

Also devoting time to painting Kerrville and surrounding areas you may see her on the river trail along the Guadalupe or set up along a country road painting the Hill Country.

Artists who inspire her through their lives and works are Claude Monet, Vincent VanGogh, and Keith Richards.

"Copper's paintings are more than detailed reproductions of pretty scenes, rather they are a moment in her life. To walk through her gallery at her home in Texas is like walking through her private family album; there is a story to be told about each work." The Highlander

Her paintings reflect her life's journey
