Latino art came to the U.S-Mexico Borderlands in the 17th century with the founding of several missions in Texas by the Franciscan order. In the 1680s, Mestizos, a blend of Spanish and Mexican Indian ethnic groups, constituted the majority population in Mexico.
While growing up in Van Nuys/San Fernando Valley I was given the opportunity to be surrounded and enveloped by the richness of the Latin culture. Where Latinx and Latino and other terms vie for top billing in the shared world, they all represent the same and vast culture, part of which are the visual arts. Truly blessed.
