La Quinta Arts Foundation returning scholarship recipient Paul Acevedo has been interested in the art forms of printmaking and sculpture since he was 12 years old. After graduating from Cathedral City High School, he has furthered his studies at California State University Stanislaus, where he has developed a passion for his field of work.
“I feel very inspired to become an art professor because of the great emphasis my professors have in each of their students,” Paul says. “I want to be able to help other students, by committing the same time and effort my professors give me.”
‘My Corazon’ by Paul Acevedo
Paul used painting and printmaking techniques to create ‘My Corazon’, a work inspired by the Mexican bingo game “Loteria”. He emphasized the famous card of “El Corazon”, which symbolizes bad luck with love.
