[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

On May 12th, 2009 the National Center for Farmworker Health unveiled the

2009 commemorative artwork at the National Farmworker Health Conference in

San , TX. Please check out the attachment to this email to see

this beautiful image which is currently available at the conference rates of

$35.00 for the poster with commemorative graphics and $200 for the fine art

print. Proceeds of all sales provide academic scholarships to Migrant

Health Center Staff.

This artwork is entitled Trabajo y Tarea and was created by Ramiro

. Mr. was born to Mexican emigrants and grew up in

Western Michigan. He currently lives in South Bend, Indiana with his wife

and two sons. He is an Exhibition Coordinator at the Snite Museum of Art at

the University of Notre Dame. Prior to arriving at Notre Dame, he worked as

an exhibition preparator at the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Contemporary

Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. He has taught painting and drawing classes

at the University of Cincinnati, Miami University and the Art Academy of

Cincinnati. Mr. 's figurative paintings and prints have been

exhibited and have won awards in various one-person and group shows around

the country. His works are included in numerous private collections around

the world. He is a member of the Consejo Grafico, an independent network of

Latino print workshops formed to advance the legacy and viability of Latino

printmaking in the United States. Mr. has encountered the widest

public recognition through the reproduction of his works by the

multi-platinum selling musical group Tool. The group's use of several of

Mr. 's images for promotional material has introduced his work to

many music fans around the world.
