UCLA Theatre Graduate and accomplished Oil Painter

I have a degree from UCLA in Theatre Arts, and have also acted on Young and the Restless as a recurring role while I lived in Los Angeles. I have done several television commercials, and know the ins and outs of auditioning and how to land a role in tv/film or theatre. My tutoring style is simple: you tell me what you would like to accomplish in a specific time frame, and I will advise you on what is feasible, and how we can fulfill your goals through mentoring and tutorship.

I am also an accomplished oil painter and have a website www.gregorycopploe.artspan.com. My work is also on exhibit at the Warren Knapp Gallery in Seattle, www.warrenknapp.com. I have been painting for over ten years and love working with children and senior citizens.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me anytime, and I thank you for your time.
