Patricia "Pat" Gomez (born 1960) is a Chicana visual artist based in Los Angeles best known for incorporating text within her art.
Gomez worked with Self Help Graphics, a community nonprofit arts organization in East Los Angeles with roots in the Chicano Movement.
Langson IMCA’s holdings currently include over 4,500 works representing a wide array of genres and mediums that span late 19th century California Impressionism and plein air painting to Post-War and contemporary art.
Within the text, Gomez explains how her uncle could not pursue college or a white collar career because of social and economic reasons and he eventually joined his local gang.
Sor Juana was a writer in colonial Mexico that was eventually silenced and unable to publish her work because she was critical of patriarchy, the church and the political establishment.
