b. Visalia, California, 1981
Linda received her BFA in ceramics and a BA in Art Education from the California State University of Chico in 2006. She is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Colorado at Boulder in the ceramics department.
Linda Lopez grew up in a small farm town of Ivanhoe, California. Her mother was a refugee from Vietnam and her father an immigrant from Mexico. Both of her parents spoke very little English causing communication to be limited. So, Linda began to have conversations with objects, not just toys, but even the carpet and outdoor posts.
Currently, Linda continues her relationship with these objects. She makes them to create awareness about the mundane things that surround us everyday. In revealing the life of inanimate objects, she creates an understanding of the symbiotic relationships that we share with things, exposing that we perhaps not only need them, but they also need us.
