Copeman was born in Liverpool where her father was a solicitor.[2] She attended the Liverpool School of Art between 1891 and 1900, where she studied under John Finnie.[3] Copeman then studied at St Ives in Cornwall with Julius Olsson for a time before returning to live in Liverpool.[4] Copeman exhibited on a regular basis at the annual Liverpool Autumn exhibitions from 1885 to 1938 and, from 1894, at the Royal Academy on six occasions.[5][2] Works by Copeman were also shown at the Royal Cambrian Academy, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers.[3] The latter society elected Copeman as an associate member in 1897.[5] She was also a member of the Liverpool Academy of Arts.[4] The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool holds examples of her work while Liverpool City Libraries holds some of her sketching albums.[5] Her work is exhibited at many auctions throughout the world and with realized prices ranging from $483 USD to $1,896 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork. The current record price for this artist at auction is $1,896 USD for "Young Woman Holding a Child Beside Hollyhocks", sold at Skinner, Boston in 2011.[6]
