Portrait of Linda Pace, Art Patroness

The Works of Edward Christobal Lopez, III

“The material used to create the paintings is a waterborne, low odor, high gloss, solid covering, acrylic Bulletin Enamel formulated for graphic arts and maintenance applications. It is lead free, fast drying, easy brushing, and more importantly environmentally friendly.

The gold elements in the background of the paintings are actually silhouette shapes that when put together make up the Central Academic or Madla buildings of your campus.

The portraits that I chose to create consist of newly created paintings depicting prominent San Antonio individuals who have had an impact on social, civic and educational awareness for the citizens of our city.” ---Edward Christobal Lopez, III

Linda Pace, artist, collector and philanthropist, was driven by the belief that art is a vital social force. In 1993, she founded Artpace, an artist residency, exhibition and education program in San Antonio that has garnered recognition for nurturing the creative expression of emerging and established artists, while actively engaging youth and adult audiences. Linda Pace passed away on July 2, 2007, at her home in San Antonio following a vigorous battle with breast cancer. Today, her generous legacy continues through the efforts of the Linda Pace Foundation, which manages her collection and promotes the production and display of contemporary art in Texas and beyond.
