Lopa Studios gallery

At age 5, Bill Lopa segued from mastering his coloring books to bi-weekly art classes at the Nutley Art Academy, where he credits his instructors with education him about structure, form, and depth perception. Montclair Art Academy followed, and Lopa earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from William Paterson College in Wayne, New Jersey. From age 15 on, art has been his life. Friends, family and neighbors commissioned work from him, and his distinct impressionist style quickly caught on in what can be called a grassroots fashion. These same fans would later take Lopa's works of art and have them placed in galleries, consigned to art dealers and even sold to individuals/consumers up and down the East Coast. Lopa's artwork has been featured in art galleries across the country. Galleries such as: the Markman Galleries in Las Vegas, Gallery Four at the Garden State Art Plaza, Field of Dreams throughout the country, ArtExpo in New York, Just Ducky in Chicago and in several Hall of Fame memorabilia franchise stores. Over his professional career, Lopa's paintings have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities across the country.
