My art teacher asked the class to pick someone who has changed the world! I decided to pick Sylvia Mendez . She is a American civil rights activist of Mexican-Puerto Rican heritage. She was also the lead plaintiff in the case Mendez v. Westminster. In 1947, the case ended school segregation in California! I believe she has really impacted the world and my heritage. I decided to make a collage to show her era and what she had to go through. Made this collage by hand and scanned the final product. I drew her by hand and scanned the drawing once i was done. I brought the drawing into Adobe Illustrator and turned it into an Illustration. I brought the final product together in Adobe Photoshop. I believe Separate is NEVER Equal and Sylvia Mendez made sure of it!

I painted Carlos Santana! I've been a fan of Carlos Santana for as long as I can remember! I love his music! Oil Painting, 12 x 16 Canvas.

This painting was extremely hard for me. I painted over this painting about four times. It wasn't showing what I wanted to portray. I was happy with the end result. Oil painting, 12 x 16 Canvas. 

I have gotten inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe's original painting of "Cow's Skull with Calico Roses."  Changed up the roses and added a bit of color! Oil painting, 8 x 10 Canvas. 

I've been painting for eight years now. At the beginning of my art journey, I struggled with painting. It was something I gained interest for. Throughout the years I practiced, practiced, practiced. Basically until my paint brushes worn out. My paintings improved for the better. Never give up on your passion. Practice, practice, practice and you will get better!
