Honoring Hector Vega

Celebrated artist-entrepreneur Hector Vega was born in Gurabo, Puerto Rico and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. A self-taught artist, his signature style-featuring bold colors and geometric patterns-is influenced by his cultural heritage. During the past 15 years, Vega's artwork has progressively matured into visually stimulating pieces that embody life and energy through the balance of strong design, color and depth. His art can be found in numerous private, corporate and educational institution collections across the United States. A firm believer in volunteerism, community involvement, and the advancement of the arts, Vega is known for his artistic contributions to numerous local and national charitable, civic, and non-profit organizations. He sits on several arts and community-related boards, and his work has won numerous awards, both in the U.S. and abroad. See his video about being dyslexic on his website:

Parent picks: Great books on dyslexia

Overcoming Dyslexia: A New and Complete Science-Based Program for Reading Problems at Any Level

by Sally Shaywitz Vintage (2005)

"A great book that explains what dyslexia is and gives parents tools for helping their
children become fluent readers. The book validated that we were doing what

we needed to be doing — base on the research findings presented." (Great Schoo1, 20010)
