Synopsis:<\/p>\n
Growing up in Santa Ana, California, nearly two hours away from the Mexican Border, artist Sergio B. Sanchez was exposed to both a life rich in culture, and a life of risky and dangerous activity. As someone who experienced a possible parent deportation and a continuous life in poverty, Sergio began to act up and immerse himself in the easy money-making life. By the time he was in middle school, Sergio was beginning to fall down the wrong path. But through the support of his family, teachers, mentors, and his love for art, Sergio was able to change his ways and strive for better choices. Sergio has overcome adversities and now hopes to inspire others through his artistic talents and experiences.<\/p>\n
