Artist Statement
Michael Lopez, 63, was an award-winning journalist for 17 years before changing careers to become an architectural historian who is intricately involved in the development and reuse of historic buildings.
While drawing and writing since childhood, Michael’s artistic ability became front and center during master’s degree training in historic preservation, which required the drawing of buildings and building components.
He is a mixed media artist, whether it be incorporating stained glass pieces into his work or painting watercolors. Of late, he has focused on painting nebulae, where stars are born.
Michael considers himself an emerging artist who has had recent success at exhibiting in regional galleries. Most recently, his work is included in the 44th Annual Adirondacks National Exhibition of American Watercolor.
He is a native of Central New York and lives in New York’s Capital Region.
