Born in Santa Fe, NM, Nicola López currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Through her work in printmaking, drawing and installation, López describes and reconfigures our contemporary—primarily urban—landscape. Her interest in describing ‘place’ stems both from traveling, studying and working in other countries, including Mexico, Peru and Morocco, and from her undergraduate studies as an anthropology major at Columbia University, where she received her BA in 1998. In 2002 López attended the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture in Maine and in 2004 received her MFA in visual arts from Columbia University, as well as an MFA Grant from the Joan Mitchell Foundation. Her work has been exhibited throughout the USA and internationally.
