Over the years her favorite themes include birds, horses, trees, and flowers. Her practiced media types vary from acrylic, pastel, pencil, oil, silk to photography.

I even stopped painting for a short time, to learn the world of photography". After Lopez purchased her first DSLR camera. Her voice really emerged. A friend told Linda about a local art class that incorporated photos with encaustic. This appears to be a huge catalyst in the voice you see today in her work. Today you can see her original fine art photography on rice paper with encaustic and other media worked in for desired effect.

Lopez continues studying various methods and trying new media. She can often be heard saying "I see art everywhere." I always look at lights, darks, shapes and texture in the world around me. I see things others don’t, and I want to share what I experience visually in the world around me”.
