Born and raised in San Anto- nio, she attended Fox Tech High School and earned a Fine Arts de- gree from the University of Texas in Austin in 1982. Sanchez’ years at Austin were key to her develop- ment as a Chicana artist. On the UT campus she met Santa Barraza, a talented young artist and graduate student in the University’s Master’s in Fine Arts program. Barraza, who had previously studied at Texas A&M Kingsville with Carmen Lomas Garza, Cesar Martinez, and Amado Pena, emerged as one of the cen- tral figures in the development of Chicano art in Texas. To find her own voice as an artist, Sanchez gained inspiration Sanchez has resided the last 30 As a child she also admired the from Austin’s many exhibitions, years in the state of Pennsylvania, train track patterns and the many plays, and jazz sessions.
