'Be Your Own Rainbow' project gives back to LGBTQ
Edgar Medina quit his job as a dental assistant to follow his dream. See how his passion for color is helping young artists and the LGBTQ community.

HOUSTON, Texas -- "My inspiration comes from my own work. So if I name a piece something happy and positive, it inspires me when I look at it."



Edgar Medina loved art even as a child in Mexico. But he wasn't able to follow his passion until he was an adult. Now he owns a successful studio in Houston, Texas.



For Pride Month Medina created a special print called Be Your Own Rainbow.



"Part of the proceeds will go to the Montrose Center, to support staff, and dedicated volunteers to help the LGBTQ+ community.
