ABOUT PATTI LUCAS HOPKINS

Patti Lucas Hopkins - Maryland artistI am an oil painter and my style is Contemporary Impressionist. My paintings are what I love and live around. I try to capture scenes in my natural surroundings.

ENVIRONMENT

I live on a farm on the Little Choptank River on Marylandʼs Eastern Shore, with my husband, dogs, and chickens, surrounded by wild geese, deer, fox and wild turkeys. With a passion for the land and water around me, I am developing my oil paintings to express that environment. I take inspiration from the changing seasons, the cycle of crops, migrations and human activities such as working the water, sailing, and hunting.

After nearly 25 years of oil painting rural landscapes, bay views, figures in the landscape and still life, I continue to study and work on capturing mood with light and shadow in my paintings. I love painting with oil and continue to explore new ways to build my paintings to another level.

INSPIRATION

I admire the California Plein Air Painters, Cape Cod School of Art, Joaquin Sorolla, Winslow Homer, Edgar Payne, the Wyeths and many impressionist artists.

MEMBERSHIP

I am a member of the American Impressionist Society, Oil Painters of America, Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters, the Plein Air Painters of the Chesapeake Bay, the Working Artist Forum in Easton, MD, the Art League of Ocean City, the Academy Art Museum of Easton, MD, the Dorchester Center for the Arts and hold memberships in other art museums in various cities.

Many of my paintings hang in homes and offices throughout the United States; my paintings may be seen at The Trumpeter Swan Gallery, Dover Street, Easton, MD.
