Leroy Lopez

Although my family is originally from Canjilon, New Mexico, I was born in Espanola, New Mexico.
 
I've made art most of my life because my family and an art teacher, Florencio Montoya, helped and encouraged me early in life.
 
Now I am inspired to make art for myself and to share my art with others.  I teach Woodcarving for the Northern New Mexico Community College where I learn as much or more from my students as they do from me.
