Meet the Artist: Jill Brantley & Marcia Coppel

  • Touchstone Gallery 901 New York Avenue NW Washington D.C 20001 United States (map)

Join artists Marcia Coppel and Jill Brantley for conversations, questions, and informal tours of their solo exhibitions.

Marcia Coppel’s paintings in Renewal are based on her love for the people, rich color, and landscape of Mexico. Her recent work was made using line drawings done “on the spot” before, during, and after the height of Covid-19. The color was added later in her studio.

The paintings Jill Brantley is presenting in her solo exhibition, Whimsy, were created during and after the Covid-19 Pandemic lockdown. Brantley explores a variety of materials, such as acrylic paints, alcohol inks, oil pastels, charcoal, crayons, various papers, and found objects. She uses this mix of media to create abstract works full of color, patterns, lines, and textures that are both imaginative and whimsical.
