Dudley Zopp was born in Kentucky and now divides her time between studios in Maine and New York. She is a painter of landscape-based abstractions and an installation artist, with a strong interest in environmental and collaborative projects. Hal Thurman, Emeritus Professor of Art at the University of Massachusetts Boston, writes, “To her formidable energy and sense of purpose one must add her appetite to possess her surroundings – thus her great and appropriate interest in installation art and in stalking her environment.”

She engages mediums and forms from large-scale installations to intimate works on paper with equal passion. Her touchstones as an artist are as diverse as 1960’s process art, Leonardo’s water studies and Chinese landscape painting. Zopp began drawing at an early age, and has studied languages as well as art. She has exhibited widely at galleries, universities and museums in New England and the Midwest and has received the Maine Arts Commission’s Individual Artist Fellowship.
