Lavon resident Mark Hernandez, 39, a middle school art teacher, is preparing to debut the most personal project of his career — one rooted in family, faith and mental health. His new exhibit, Sentimientos del Macho, opens Sept. 6 at Artes de la Rosa Cultural Center in Fort Worth, where it will run through Sept. 27.

The show, curated by Hernandez, challenges traditional notions of masculinity in Latin culture while giving voice to stories of pain, resilience and hope.
