Copper Tritscheller, a native of Georgia did not originally pursue a career in art however her artistic side showed itself in many ways until in 2000, Tritscheller was formally introduced to the art world. Drawn to what she considers the “misunderstood” animal, much of her work centers around burros and bats. Her body of work continues to grow and can be found in galleries in the US, China and Taiwan.

"I like to approach these figures from all angles, sculpting them both as animals and anthropomorphically. My intention has always been to focus on what makes us similar to the creatures of the world instead of different. In this Age of Covid & Climate Crisis, what is being so vividly demonstrated to all of us is that the more we are alienated from nature, the more trouble we get in."
