Lucero Sanchez is a first generation Mexican American artist whose work is grounded in personal storytelling and cultural memory. From an early age, art became her language. It has always been a vivid way of expressing emotion, identity, and heritage. Growing up surrounded by the bold colors, religious symbols, and traditions of her community, Lucero developed a visual style that honors her roots while inviting others into her world.

​

 

She holds a double major in Studio Art and Business, a combination that reflects both the emotional and practical sides of her creative journey. Her work is inspired by the great Mexican muralists including Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco, as well as the visual energy of tattoo art, street art, and everyday sacred imagery. Through bold palettes, detailed linework, and symbolic forms like sacred hearts, anatomical hearts, sugar skulls, and marigolds, she tells stories that are both deeply personal and widely resonant.

Her latest exhibit, titled Corazones y Recuerdos, explores the dualities of life and death, grief and joy, and memory and transformation. Each piece invites the viewer into an emotional experience that is honest and reflective. The collection encourages connection through shared experience and shows how beauty and vulnerability often live side by side.

Lucero’s work is a celebration of identity, remembrance, and resilience. It is rooted in her lived experience as a Mexican American woman and creates space for others to recognize themselves in color, emotion, and culture.
