Juan Pablo Soto

(American, born 1952, died 2021)

Eastern Washington artist Juan Pablo Soto (1952-2021) was based in Kennewick. In his own words: "I am interested in portraying Latinos in everyday life. Much of my subject matter involves farmworkers in the field, children at play or learning activities, and families. I want to honor Latinos working and living in the United States today." Soto graduated from Sunnyside High School and attended Central Washington University before he was drafted in the Vietnam War.
