I have been painting and drawing all my life. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Painting and my Master of Arts in English from San Jose State University.
This painting was inspired by a photograph taken around 1933. It shows my father and his 2 brothers with their Piggley Wiggley wagon in a pumpkin field. Pearl Dewey Copeland is on the left. Donald William Copeland is in the middle. My father, James Delos Copeland, was on the right. All three boys have passed on.
My paintings have been exhibited at:
- San Jose State University's Art Department
- Villa Montalvo Art Center (Saratoga)
- Los Altos Art Club shows
- Open Studios (Santa Cruz) (Silicon Valley)
- Tribal Visions Gallery (Santa Cruz)
- Atelier Gallery (Santa Cruz)
- Herland Cafe and Bookstore (Santa Cruz)
- Art21 Gallery (Palo Alto)
- An outdoor panomural exhibition (with 150+ artists) (Main St., Mendocino California)
- Various arts & crafts fairs
Nels Eric Oback, Leroy Parker, John Hunter, and Dave Stewart were my mentors/instructors at San Jose State University.
My portfolio includes work in watercolors, oils, acrylics, and various drawing mediums.
I am a retired lampworker (glass beadmaker). For more information, click here to look and read about my beads and beadmaking!
