Israel Lopez

My name is Israel Lopez, and I’m an artist and an instructor. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. The city had a big artistic influence on me, everything from the multi-cultural murals, graffiti painted walls, and the giant billboards. Throughout my life I have always been artistically inclined. As a child I scribbled my house walls with crayons and drew whatever came to mind. When I was a teen I taught myself how to play guitar and painted graffiti, and as an adult I trained in martial arts, learned computer graphics, and engaged in fine arts. Throughout the years I have enjoyed learning and creating in a variety of different mediums, and I enjoy passing that knowledge on.
Teaching has now become another passion of mine, and I find it to be very rewarding knowing that I can
help others find joy in the world of art.
