“I clipped out the picture, went to his show and waited endlessly for him to stop talking to others.

“I saw his ‘Rainbow Boy’ in the newspaper and wanted to meet him,” she recalls. They were always all about the art, and living that authentic life,” Tana notes.Īrlette Lucero knew there was something special about Stevon even before she formally met him. “They were such a good team: so ornery, so loyal and loving. They had two sons, Paul and Joshua, and shared a commitment to raise up and give back to their friends in the Chicano arts community. He later found lasting harmony with his partner of forty years, fellow artist Arlette Lucero. Lucero and Tana’s mother split up a year or two after moving to Denver. He eventually dropped out and in 1976 moved to Denver with Tana's mother to pursue his own path. Though he did begin to formally study art at the University of Wyoming, the artist was already forming his own nonconformist ideas about the purpose of art. Lucero’s drive as an artist was no fluke. She was so supportive, and always a champion for his art.” I guess she thought that if she could turn him into a lefty, that would make him an artist.

“She wouldn't ever let him use his right hand. “My grandma wanted him to be an artist,” says Tana Lucero, Stevon’s eldest daughter. Stevon Lucero, who passed away on Sunday, November 28, at the age of 72, was born in Laramie, Wyoming, on the Day of the Dead: November 2, 1949. His father, Miguel Saens, an illegal immigrant at the time of his birth, had chosen to go by the surname Lucero north of the border, and Stevon was encouraged to be an artist from childhood by his young mother, Ruth Gonzales.
