Inverna Lockpez (born November 21, 1941) is a Cuban American painter, sculptor, and activist, that participated in the second wave of America's feminist movement.

She is known for her graphic novel Cuba: My Revolution (illustrated by Dean Haspiel), a fictionalized memoir of her life prior to coming to the United States.

However, in 1959, after Fidel Castro overthrew Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, Lockpez decided to set aside art and pursue a career in medical studies.

In 1978, she became the director of INTAR Gallery, New York City, which focused on exhibiting the work of Latino, Black, Asian and Native American artists.

She moved to a converted Mill on the East Branch of the Delaware River in upstate New York in 1985, and began her series Markings of the Land.

It's a collection of 32 color images of Lockpez' paintings of icons of rural America life done in an expressionistic technique that suggests a way of regarding the relationship between the natural landscape and the work of human hands.

Lockpez attended medical school at the University of Havana, then she studied painting and sculpture at the National Academy of San Alejandro.
