For the past 40 years, Garcia has been an advocate and leader for marginalized members of society, through her leadership in the L.A. Chicano Art Movement and championing her community. Garcia has influenced and encouraged artists to challenge their talents and find their individuality through their work. Self-reflection and expressing one’s authentic self are recurring themes amongst Garcia’s artistic students. Many of Garcia’s recent pieces were painted in Ventura County and are on display for the first time.
