James Scoppettone, American (1937 - )
James Scoppettone was born in San Jose California in 1937 and he began painting at the age of seventeen. He is an American Impressionist whose works are featured in Maui, HI; Aspen, CO; Santa Fe, NM; Dallas, TX; San Francisco, CA and Bend, OR.
Inspired by the work of nineteenth-century French and American painters, Scoppettone has devoted his career to expanding the artistic exploration of light. His paintings are distinguished by brilliant color and vibrant brushwork. They radiate with energy and the joy of light.
He and his wife, Sherry, have raised five children on a 24-acre farm formerly owned by filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock. Located in California’s Santa Cruz mountains, the picturesque estate provides Scoppettone with the perfect atmosphere to create his art.
Collectors may also be interested in one of Mr. Scoppettone’s giclees, so exact that they’re hard to distinguish from the original oil. The giclee brings his works within the reach of many more of his fans.
