Lauri Copeman
Lauri Copeman, born
in Victoria, B.C., Canada, has spent 16 years travelling regularly
to Mexico. It was this country that inspired her to begin painting
again for the first time since her childhood. Lauri
is a self-taught artist, preferring the rigors of error and the
freedom of figuring things out on her own to the straitjacket of
ideas borrowed from and often imposed by others during the learning
process.
Most of Lauri's work is done in oil
on canvas, though she has done paintings using acrylics
and has worked in other media such as sculpture
and pastel chalk sketches. She has exhibited in
Canadian art shows and most of her works are to be found in private
collections. The majority of Lauri's painting is
now done on a commission basis. Lauri Copeman, apart from executing
the artwork shown here in The Zihrena Gallery,
is also a writer, currently working on a screenplay
and a novel.
