Lopez leaves the message of each piece up to the beholder: “I like how each viewer makes their own determination or interpretation of what they are seeing or feeling. The ambiguity of each piece is what captures the viewer’s interest. My challenge is to cause a reaction -- this is what keeps me creating.” </font> </p> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica" color="AD2A43"> Lopez began her formal study of art with a Bachelor in Fine Arts from the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. Since her graduation in 1992, Lopez has exhibited her art in over sixty individual and group shows, as well as national and international competitions. Her work has appeared in cities across the United States, and internationally in Madrid and Barcelona, Spain; Frankfurt, Germany; Saint Amand Montrond, France; and Livorno, Italy. </font> </p> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica" color="AD2A43"> Lopez' works have received numerous awards and critical accolades. Several of her pieces are included in esteemed public and private collections, among them: Florida Museum of Hispanic and Latin American Art, Miami, Florida; Galerie Thomas Lang, Hanau, Germany; Full Sail Center for the Recording Arts, Orlando, Florida; Leibniz University, Santa Fe, New Mexico; Charlotte Heart Vascular Institute, Port Charlotte, Florida; and the Ringling School of Art and Design, Sarasota, Florida. </font> </p> <hr width="70%"> <P align="center"> <font face="Arial,Helvetica" color="AD2A43"> To learn more about the art or the artist, please contact:<br> <b>Raida Lopez<br> Phone & Fax: 1.941.625.2113<br> <a href="mailto:raidalopez@comcast.net">raidalopez@comcast.net</a><br> </b></font></p> <p> </p> </td></tr></table> <h1 align="center"><font color="black">Sorry!</font></h1> <br><br> <p><font color="black" size="4"><b>This Web site has been set up in frames.
