Leslie Cope was a prolific artist dedicated to his work and committed to the simple virtues of rural life, seascapes and landscapes in the United States and in his native England. He has been selling his art since the 1930's.
Popular among his works are subjects that deal with the common work horse, country scenes, barnyards, coal mining from the early 1930's, bridges, rural landscapes, village sketches, fair and carnival scenes, and canal studies to mention a few. Cope faithfully recorded southeast Ohio and loved to return often to Mt Hope and Millersburg.
He drew from memory and old sketches to bring to life scenes from his native England depicting pottery towns, the tall bottle kilns of Stoke-on-Trent where he was born, canal and street scenes from the turn of the century England in its industrial heyday, and simple rustic moments of a familiar past with a country he never abandoned.
Cope returned annually to Gloucester Massachusetts to paint seascapes, harbor scenes, and rows of fishing boats with his wife Velma. They also made frequent trips to western states, reveling in the sights of small herds of roaming mustang and wild horses they found and sketched. Cope painted desert towns as well as Indian encampments.
Not commonly known are Cope's numerous sketches of his active duty during WW2 while stationed in Guam. Cope was a camouflage expert with the U.S. Air Force then.
His works are in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, Library of Congress, and Capitol University.
He has had one-man shows in the Library of Congress and The Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.
Honors and awards have been given him in juried shows at the National Academy, the Society of Graphic Artists, and the Society of Academic Artists.
Copes works have been recognized in England and Paris, and in 1975 he was named to Who's Who in America.
