Born
into a illustrious family of artists, López Córdova’s work
is found in collections in the Museum of International Folk Art, the Museum of
the Spanish Colonial Arts Society in Santa Fe, the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology
in Albuquerque, the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos, the Museum of the American
West in Los Angeles, and the Smithsonian Institution. Contributing to the distinctive
“Córdova style,” the artist’s own santos and animals, ornately
carved and embellished have also attracted the attention of the art world. López
Córdova received the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts in
New Mexico, and her work appears in postcards of the Library of Congress.
