DESCRIPTION
In the second episode of Portraits of Heritage, a new series created in partnership with Modelo, Esperanza "Runsy" Rosas says that growing up, she didn’t see many Chicana artists like herself represented in the world and knew she’d have to do things her own way. With a little help from her family and a lot of pride in her Mexican heritage, she made up her mind to be an artist to “create change.” The results speak for themselves.
