The Storefront contemporary art space at Broward County Main Library welcomes renowned multidisciplinary artist, Kandy G Lopez, as the fiscal year's second resident artist.
Kandy is a local, national, and international artist and educator who focuses on creating empowering, large-scale portraits of underrepresented community members using textiles. She is currently represented by ACA Galleries, NYC and is in sabbatical from her professorial role in the arts department of NSU.
As an Afro-Caribbean visual artist, Lopez is eager to be challenged materialistically and metaphorically when representing marginalized individuals that inspire and move her. Her works are created out of the necessity to learn something new about her people and culture. Lopez is interested in developing a nostalgic dialogue between the artwork and the viewer. If she’s not learning from her materials and how it affects the message, it's not worth creating.
Kandy G Lopez was born in New Jersey and moved with her family to Florida. She received her BFA and BS from the University of South Florida, concentrating in Painting and in Marketing and Management. She received her MFA with a concentration in Painting from Florida Atlantic University in 2014. She has taught at Florida Atlantic University, Daytona State College, and is now teaching as an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication, Media and Arts at the Halmos College of Art & Sciences at NOVA Southeastern University.
