Patssi Valdez b. 1951

Patssi Valdez is a visual artist and a founding member of the art collective, ASCO. Her artistic contributions in ASCO challenged the dominant narrative of the Chicano Movement and Chicano Art to provide an expanded and contemporary vision of Chicana/o identity. Her work with ASCO contributed to a Chicana feminist critique of the socioeconomic and sociopolitical reality of the Chicano community living in the United States. In her visual art practice including paintings, Valdez works to capture what is going on for her internally and spatially.
