Springfield Art Walk 5/8: Artist Scott Copeland

Please stop into the Hearts for Hospice store on Friday May 8th to see the beautiful artwork of Scott Copeland.  

 Born and raised in the Eugene/Springfield area, I have been studying and painting Northwest Coast Indian Art since 1990. I started out carving and painting Northwest Coast Indian canoe paddles. Later, I began painting on paper which provided a new spark to my hobby.

 I have closely followed the guidelines of N.W. Coast Indian Art derived from the Tlingit and Haida Nations. Using the shapes and colors of red, black and blue-green, it makes my original artworks true to the N.W. Coast Indian tradition.

 My artwork has been featured at the Springfield Museum for three different monthlong shows. I`ve also had three shows at Toad Hall Gallery in Yachats OR and currently have art for sale there. I have had 2 art shows at Ben Franklin Crafts and Frame Shop. In November I will have a paddle of mine in an auction at the Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia.
