Guadalupe Apodaca

Award winning artist, Guadalupe Apodaca, long time member of the Pastel Society of America, affirms, "I love what I do. To bring life to a blank canvas in the form of a person, place or thing is very exciting!" Working in oils and pastel, Guadelupe's portraits, figures and landscapes go beyond the obvious to capture the feelings and emotions of his subjects, and the vibrant colors of nature. Born in Fort Collins, Colorado, Guadelupe has visually embraced a wide variety of people and landscapes. He has travelled throughout the United States, as well as Canada, Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Italy.

Though Guadelupe studied with the renowned George Cherepov, he feels his greatest teacher has been his own heart and nature itself. He believes that if one truly loves what he does, this will permeate his endeavors.
