FIBER ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Kandy G.

Lopez — Painting with Yarn! Meet **Kandy G. Lopez**, an Afro-Caribbean fiber artist whose extraordinary, larger-than-life portraits transform yarn and thread into powerful works of art! Using colorful yarn, acrylic paint, and mesh canvas, Lopez creates richly textured portraits that celebrate cultural identity, individuality, and the beauty of everyday people. Her work combines the expressive qualities of painting with the tactile dimension of fiber, bringing her subjects to life through remarkable detail, color, and texture. Born to Dominican parents and raised in South Florida, Lopez uses her art to give visibility and voice to communities often underrepresented in traditional portraiture. Her work is a wonderful reminder that fiber art has no boundaries—and yarn can be just as expressive as paint!
