Cesar Chavez
In honor of Cesar Chavez Day (March 31) here in America, I decided to a vibrant piece in his memory. Cesar Chavez was of Mexican descent and a dedicated activist, remembered for his fight for civil rights in the 1970s. He helped create the United Farm Workers, a union for farm workers to get the same employee rights as anyone else. The mural above is a portrait of Chavez by Randy Segura, a muralist living in Lakewood, Colorado. Many of his paintings revolve around Mexican nationalism within American borders.- Jessica Shakarian

I discovered years ago how important doing art was to me when I saw how many other things in my life would take second stage to it. Over time I learned how to manage, wanting to create all the time. Painting murals has always been my main focus, including wall signs for commercial applications. I have completed numerous projects in business, private, and community environments. Special projects such as 3D chalk art murals for festivals, and special occasions are also possible. People have told me I have a wonderful eye at designing paintings and murals splashed with color and life – Randy Segura
