Description: Tree of life wood carving by Gloria Lopez Cordova. It measures 10.5" tall, and features 14 birds, squirrels, and a rabbit. The condition is excellent. Gloria comes from a family of woodworkers known throughout northern New Mexico for their unique chip carved Santos, nativities, birds and trees of life. Carved from aspen, cedar or pine, the López artists are noted for their naturalistic, unpainted figures. Her parents, Rafael and Precide López, were sinters; and her grandfather, José Dolores López, an acclaimed woodcarver. Gloria began her apprenticeship as a Santera at age eight, helping her parents sand their carvings. In 1978, Gloria opened her studio and began showing her work at Spanish Market. She became known as the successor to the López carving legacy. She is known for her ability to sand and finish aspen wood to such a degree that it has been mistaken for polished ivory. Since those early days, Gloria has been honored with high-profile exhibitions of her work at the Smithsonian Institute, the Museum of International Folk Art, Millicent Rogers Museum, Albuquerque Museum, Tucson Museum of Art and the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum.
