Laurie Kopec

Lovettsville, VA

Laurie Kopec is mainly a plein air painter working in oils. Her inspiration comes from her love of nature and being outdoors as much as possible. She studied Landscape Architecture at the University of Georgia and worked as a landscape architect for many years before pursuing a career as an artist. Participating in plein air competitions has taken her all over the US painting in the west and southeast, placing in the top five in every show in the last year. She mostly enjoys painting landscapes but has done pet portraits and portraits of children. Laurie has also enjoyed teaching classes in classic painting.
