About

Angela Rosa Coppola is an artist living and working in Phoenix, Arizona. Although she was drawn to art at a young age, she pursued an education and career in the sciences and didn’t return to art until her early thirties. Her science mind and her art mind were driven by the same traits: curiosity, a keen eye for subtleties, and imaginative problem solving. She taught herself how to paint and began experimenting with different techniques in watercolor and gouache. She often works on clay panels, which allows her to create paintings that are both luminous and durable. Coppola’s work is often inspired by the suburban desert she grew up in. She is drawn to images that convey a gentle quietness in their story. She is also inspired by the aging process of both people and objects. By highlighting the patina of life, she hopes to inspire others to see beauty in the everyday.
