Pola Lopez’s art is an eclectic collection of images drawn from her mixed cultural heritage, which is rich in tradition, infused with a spiritual vision, and fueled by her belief in the power of color to provoke. Her vibrant canvases are immersed in her indigenous, feminine perspective of symbols of the Mesizo culture that encompasses European and native influences. Born in New Mexico and raised by a father who was a poet and a dreamer, she was encouraged to follow her heart — which lead her to a successful career as an artist.

 

Lopez has been featured in several publications and film documentaries. Her paintings are collected by private patrons throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, and are in permanent collections in Southwestern museums and foundations. With an extensive exhibition list, she has always represented herself; she has a desire to create her own place in the art world without compromising her artistic and creative inspiration. http://www.polalopez.com/statement.htm

 

The Pola Lopez visual artist show will be on the church’s Art Wall for the month of June. Lopez will host an artist’s reception on June 1 at 1 p.m. in Forbes Hall. She will also be at church all Sunday morning, so you can catch her after a service too.
