From a hyperactive toddler to the heralded, exclusive fine art and sports artist of W. Lopa Studios, Bill Lopa has always had a passion for art.An avid sports fan and die-hard Yankees fan, Lopa chose to concentrate his art in what he loved in a genre he found most challenging and enjoyable: kinetic impressionism. Working in acrylics, Lopa uses a "splatter" technique where the colors are applied with a pallet knife. The use of bold colors and splatter technique captures the image and spirit of an athlete in motion.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. Even more special to Lopa is that his paintings are collected and hang in the homes of such greats as: Muhammad Ali, Tiki Barber, Roger Clemens, Michael Jordan, Mark McGuire, Paul O'Neill, Mark Prior, George Steinbrenner, Kerry Wood, Yogi Berra, Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken, Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter, Reggie Jackson, Barbara Sinatra, Diana Munson, Eleanor Gehrig, Julia Ruth, Tom Brady, Mariano Rivera, Ron Turcotte, and Danny Mantle.Over the past three years, Lopa was invited by Major League Baseball (MLB) to paint live at the World Series games and All-Star Games. He also hand-painted on the home plate that was used during the ceremonial first pitch to kick off the 2004 World Series. In addition to his baseball work, Lopa created the commemorative artwork for the past three NFL Superbowls and painted live on the sideline at Giants Stadium before the 2006 "Manning Bowl" where the NY Giants took on the Indianapolis Colts. In May 2006, Lopa painted live at the Kentucky Derby, one of horse racing's elite Triple Crown showdowns.Over his professional career, Lopa's paintings have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities across the country.
