Award-winning mosaic artist, actress, and beauty queen Maria Isabel Lopez invites the public to experience Illumination in Glass, a solo exhibition at Usher Gallery celebrating the transformative power of light, color, and the human spirit through contemporary mosaic art.
Known internationally for her accomplishments in film, the arts, and public service, Lopez brings the same passion and creativity that distinguished her career as an actress and beauty queen to her work as a visual artist.
Join us at the opening reception for an opportunity to meet Maria Isabel Lopez, groove to live tunes by Zenia Avila, and enjoy local refreshments.
Through luminous mosaics crafted from stained glass, natural stone, and mixed media, she transforms thousands of individual fragments into powerful works that explore faith, resilience, cultural heritage, nature, and hope.
