Barbara Carrasco is a Chicana artist and activist who lives and works in Los Angeles. She is considered to be a "renegade feminist" whose work critiques dominant cultural stereotypes involving socioeconomics, race, gender and sexuality. Carrasco is as equally comfortable as an artist in creating large-scale works, like murals, as she is with detailed, small-scale pen and ink work. Her art has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She was part of the important Chicano art exhibit, Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation. Carrasco continues to create art and teach others about art today.
