Ester Hernández

A file on artist Ester Hernández is included among the hundreds of artists' files in the Ybarra-Frausto collection.

Hernández, who was raised in the San Joaquin Valley, brings a defiant eye to her work, as shown in the image conveying the hazardous and toxic working conditions migrant farmworkers face in the fields while picking produce.
