Impressionist Scoppettone to exhibit with daughter

Widely collected post-impressionist painter James Scoppettone and his daughter, Lara, an emerging artist, will exhibit together at the Fine Art Enterprises gallery, 3100 Porter St., in Soquel on Father’s Day weekend from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 20.
Both live in Scotts Valley on a 24-acre ranch that once was part of the late Alfred Hitchcock’s estate.
James Scoppettone is represented in public and private collections worldwide. Many of his works are landscapes inspired by his Santa Cruz Mountains surroundings.
Lara is one of five Scoppettone children reared on the ranch. She has studied under master still-life and portrait painters.
Both artists will be at the exhibit.
