Zoya Lopata Dixon and Sam Lopata
Zoya Lopata Dixon- A native Chicagoan and second generation Ukrainian-American, Zoya went to Occidental College in Los Angeles (B.A., Psychology) followed by the Illinois Institute of Art, Chicago (B.A., Interior Design). She studied abroad in Paris, France, and has also lived in Orange County, California and Albuquerque, New Mexico. An early interest in urban planning allowed her to research, publish, and present her work at international conferences in Turkey, Germany, and Sweden, while working for nearly a decade in downtown advocacy nonprofits. Currently, she is pursuing her passion for the arts by running her own small art studio and collaborating with her brother Sam. She also enjoys coaching and playing tennis, and spending time with her husband, their 8 year old daughter Rosie, miniature doodle puppy Butters, and several chickens.
Sam Lopata is a visual artist and builder. Born and raised in Chicago, he learned all things construction and spent his free time rabble rousing in the urban jungle, finding inspiration and a creative outlet on the colorfully graffitied brick walls, often next to the equally vibrant freight trains.
He relocated to the sunny shores of Los Angeles where he now lives and works; managing a small creative construction crew he still finds time to make art.
