Rudolph Lopez
Rudy began working with his hands at a very young age and began to develop his creative eye through photography, his first artistic pursuit. With an education in drafting and design, and drawing inspiration from the surroundings of his youth, Rudy began his relationship with wood as a craftsman of fine furniture and cabinetry. His desire to explore wood-turning began to develop when he received a natural-edge bowl as a Christmas gift from his best friend a couple of years ago. His natural sense of curiosity has led him to explore the techniques necessary to transform wood from a simple rough chunk into an object of aesthetic beauty. Rudy's pieces have been featured in the "Rounding The Four Corners" exhibit 2008, and "Restful Places-Cremation Urns and Objects" 2009, at the AAW Gallery of Wood Art in St. Paul, Minnesota.
