VPA Associate Professor Hector Dionicio Mendoza's work was recently praised in the November 5 Art Review of The Wall Street Journal.  While a subscription is required to read the article, CSUMB students, faculty and staff may do so for free through the CSUMB Library portal. 

Professor Mendoza's works 'Hercules/El Mundo' (2019) and 'Coyota' (2020) were singled out as gems at the debut exhibition of the Orange County Museum of Art's new space, with 'Coyota' receiving honors as the critic's personal favorite.
