Bobby MaGee Lopez, named after the Janis Joplin hit, was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico to a veteran father and an entrepreneur mother. As a military family, they moved around the United States operating the National Cemeteries and living on site amongst the many gravestones. This fostered his connection to the spiritual and sparked his passion for creativity. He began at an early age, drawing with his father and sewing with his mother. At 10 he attended the Bemis School of Art learning traditional drawing and calligraphy techniques. And at 12 he started a custom graphic design and painting business. He continued creating throughout high school, earning several artistic achievement awards. Upon graduation, he enrolled at the Art Institute of Colorado receiving his Associates Degree and launching a mural painting business. He completed his BFA at Metropolitan State University of Denver, studying under Carlos Fresquez, a prominent Colorado artist and muralist.
Bobby MaGee owned and operated a multidisciplinary art gallery in the River North (RiNo) Art District of Denver, CO where he regularly showed and curated work for two years. He currently owns and operates The Omega Room - a collaborative artist studio and private art gallery. He operates his mural painting business - Omega Murals - and his fine art business - Om Visual Arts - from this location. Although he has murals in nine states, most of his work can be found in and around Denver in the form of monumental paintings and gallery shows.
