What a sad state of affairs if the most famous woman in history cannot be portrayed as a beautiful female with all her modesty intact! Well done for "sticking to your guns" over this issue. It's a pity people's strong religious feelings aren't offended by the real issues in the world - maybe we would have less fighting and suffering.

PS I found your website via a BBC News link.

Dear Ms Lopez,

I was pleased to see that your digital print will be remaining on display in New Mexico. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/entertainment/arts/newsid_1593000/1593519. stm)

I find it hard to believe that anyone should want to have this work of art removed from a museum - particularly when the danger of any kind of religious 'extremism' has been made very clear by the recent attacks in New York and the subsequent military action in Afghanistan. I realise that as a white, English non-Catholic male I may not understand all of the cultural and religious concerns that have been expressed, but I support your work and congratulate the museum on continuing to show your art.

I wish you continuing success.
Mark Bridge

YOU ARE A DISGRACE. ALL YOU WANT IS ATTENTION TO YOURSELF. I HOPE YOU SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES AFTER THIS. THE LORD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
