Notable Art Works
Born in central Illinois in 1883, Fern Isabel Coppedge loved painting from an early age while watching her sister Effa paint in a watercolour class and with whom she visited museums. Coppedge completed her education in California and Kansas, and after marrying Robert Coppedge and relocating to Topeka in 1904, she enrolled in the Chicago Art Institute. She eventually moved to New York, studying under Frank Vincent DuMond and with American Impressionist William Merritt Chase at the Art Students League. Coppedge was the only female member of the New Hope School and studied further at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts under Daniel Garber and with John Carlson at the Woodstock Art Colony in 1917, where she developed her brushstrokes and colour palette.
