Carmen Lomas Garza
Carmen Lomas Garza is a painter, print-maker, muralist, and children’s book illustrator of Mexican descent who uses the power of visual image to show the everyday life of Mexican Americans. She bases her creations on traditions of her family and her South Texas Latino community.
"At the age of thirteen I decided to become a visual artist and pursue every opportunity to advance my knowledge of art in institutions of higher education. The Chicano Movement of the late 1960's inspired the dedication of my creativity to the depiction of special and everyday events in the lives of Mexican Americans based on my memories and experiences in South Texas."
