Title
My Journey Through the Fields: The Art of a Migrant Farm Worker
Description
At the time of this gallery show, Juan Cavazos was a 26-year-old migrant farm worker. He was born in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico and later made money sketching portraits in the taverns of Chihuahua and Ciudad Juarez. A CAMPS teacher named Annie Salerno recognized his talent while he was harvesting potatoes near Castile, NY and became one of several advocates who helped him gain access to painting materials and space. <br />
<br />
During the period of "My Journey Through the Fields," Cavazos also was showing at the MollyOlga gallery and the Burchfield Art Center--both of them in Buffalo.
