Lake Worth artist featured in the Sun Sentinel: "Patriotism Revisited" exhibit

Briana Erickson at the Sun Sentinel has this article about Lake Worth artist Rolando Chang Barrero:
     Rolando Chang Barrero was born and raised in Miami, the son of Cuban immigrants who arrived in the United States in the early 1960s.
     The artist and founder of the Boynton Beach Arts District and the Rolando Chang Barrero Fine Art Gallery in Lake Worth said he remains inspired by — and grateful for — the political asylum and citizenship granted to his family.
     Barrero began painting a flag series referencing patriotism in the United States, Cuba and other countries about two years ago, in response to what he has perceived as anti-American sentiment.
     Now he's displaying his solo exhibit, "Patriotism Revisited," at The Great Project Art Gallery in Fort Lauderdale until July 6.
