Eva Bonilla, Honorary Chair
Family, Education and Community are Eva’s passion. She has been married to Bob for over 42 years and has three wonderful daughters who also volunteer in the community. She retired after 30 years with Merck & Co., Inc., after holding several administrative positions and receiving many awards and recognitions.
Eva’s most successful volunteer project has been to Co-Author the Latinas In Progress™ (LIP) Program for Hermanitas© with the Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas in Tarrant County and MANA of North Texas. She also was a founder of the Latina Art Show now called ArtSi and has raised over $1,000,000 in Scholarships for LIP high school senior Hermanitas©. This stellar program was adopted by HWNT’s State Board in 2008 and is now in four cities across Texas.
Eva believes that if you educate a Latina, she not only feeds her family but also helps the community. She also believes that the most powerful weapon that we have is the Vote!
The saying that best describes Eva's passionate commitment is by Anthropologist Margaret Mead:
“Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For indeed that is all who ever have.” Read more

Lizeth J. Garcia, Featured Artist
I am a Mexican artist, dreamer, wife and mother. My parents, brother and I moved to Fort Worth, Texas when I was 8 years old. As a young immigrant child I was inspired by the culture of this American country and at the same time became even more enamored with the country I left behind. The masters, artists, experiences and the people of Fort Worth have given me a great appreciation of what this city has to offer.
I live to learn and experiment. I am able to learn and teach from both direct and indirect experience. This wonderful way of life has taught me to be fearless when it comes to my art work and its mediums. I love working with oils, fabrics and henna but at the same time I love to experiment with new and different mediums such as papier maches, linoleum, silk screening and inks. With art you never stop learning or experimenting, that is the beauty of art and that is one of the many reasons I am so in love with it and its process.
