About Me

Lori Copeland is an (re) emerging mixed media artist whose work explores emotional texture, movement, and personal identity through layered composition and contemporary abstraction. Drawing inspiration from Southern environments and lived experience, her practice combines acrylic painting, collage, and tactile surface experimentation to create expressive visual narratives. 

She is currently seeking exhibition opportunities throughout the Mid-South and Northwest Arkansas regions.
