Artist Spotlight: Copper Tritscheller October 09 2020
About the Artist
A native of Georgia, Copper Tritscheller always had an artistic side but did not originally pursue a career in art. Beginning in 2000, she had a range of opportunities to work in foundries and to study with professional patinators, welders, and sculptors to learn as much as she could. She explains, “I learned by doing and I am fortunate to have many talented friends who have generously shared their skills and knowledge, helping me in ways I could not have achieved on my own.”
Tritscheller has exhibited her work extensively in gallery exhibitions, art fairs, and competitions in the United States and abroad. She has been featured in solo exhibitions at Giacobbe Fritz Fine Art Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and at the Philippe Staib Galleries in Taiwan and China. Articles about her work and career have been published in Southwest Art Magazine and Shanghai Daily. Her work is also included in numerous public art installations, with one of her sculptures being the first installed in a new Sculpture Garden in Palm Coast, Florida.
