BIOGRAPHY
Leah Lopez is an award winning artist whose paintings have been featured in national exhibitions including American Women Artists, Salon International, Allied Artists of America, Oil Painters of America, and Miniatures at The Albuquerque Museum. She teaches painting classes at the New York Academy of Art and workshops at Lyme Art Association, Andreeva Academy, Sedona Arts Center, Barrett Art Center, and Cape Cod Art Association.
Raised in the unique culture and beauty of Northern New Mexico, artists and artisans captured Leah’s imagination and inspired her to explore creative outlets. Her innate love for drawing and painting was a continual source of inspiration and led her to practice traditional techniques through a series of art classes in California and later to attend art classes at the University of New Mexico. At age 23, she began learning her most valuable lessons in art from exceptional artists and teachers Gregg Kreutz, Sherrie McGraw, and David Leffel through classes held in the Southwest and at the Art Students League of New York. It was not long before Leah's paintings received recognition and she was awarded First Place at the Traditional Fine Arts, First Place in Oils at the Best and Brightest, Honorable Mention at Salon International, and Award of Merit at the American Women Artists Show.
Leah still approaches every new subject as an opportunity to learn. She says, "Things are always changing, the arrangement, the model, the light, the appearance of color, and observing all this opens one’s senses to the possibilities."
