About the event
Join us for a one-on-one interview with the one and only James Scoppettone.
We will discuss his career, his latest works, and how he keeps being creative as the young age of 88 years old.
James and his wife, Sherry – they have five children – live on a 24-acre enclave known simply as the Farm, once filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock’s northern California hideaway.
With the Santa Cruz mountains and nearby Monterey Bay providing an endless amount of visual delights, it’s not surprising that daughter, Lara felt the lure of the canvas. You can see some of her work on this website as well. Hidden in almost every James Scoppettone painting, there are hints of the artists that gave him inspiration; Maurice de Vlaminck, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Georges Rouault, Chaim Soutine, and many twentieth century French Moderns.
