Carmen Lomas Garza is a Chicana artist from south texas who paints images that she remembers in her life growing up as well as some other beautiful contemporary artwork. She is also a great children's author the two books that I read were Family Pictures/Cuadros de Familia and In My Family/En Mi Familia. I love these books because they are of her life growing up in her mexican-ameican household, the people in her family remind me of growing up at my own house. It is enjoyable to read and see pictures that you can relate to in book.
