First Chicano State Artist of the Year Award
by:
Ivonne Figueroa
El Paso, Texas . . . Ernesto Martinez became the first Chicano to receive
the Texas State Artist of the Year Award. Martinez was honored by more
than 350 of his colleagues, government officials and community leaders
at the El Paso Museum of Arts in April. Martinez is known for his Hispanic
culture art that captures the heart of his people. Raised in the barrio
area and without any formal training in art, he of remains modest and says
he has always tried to paint the truth and what goes on in his own life.
His inspiration has been "life" and he wants to be an inspiration
to others especially children. Martinez spends a lot of his time teaching
and lecturing about art to underprivileged children.
