Paul C. Valadez

My goal has been to make art as a Mexican American artist that challenges the viewer’s preconceived notions of what Mexican American art can be.

Paul currently teaches art at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (formerly the University of Texas-Pan American), on the U.S. / Mexico border. His art career began by his earning a BFA in Interdisciplinary Art from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
