Artist Amado M. Pena, Jr. first met college art collector and admirer Lou Diamond Phillips on the set of Young Guns when shooting in Santa Fe, NM. Lou Diamond Phillips has since become a longtime friend and avid supporter of Amado's Art Has Heart Foundation at its annual fund-raiser since 2000 funding over 500 college scholarships to deserving young students from families of low to moderate incomes, single parents, pueblos and households with English as a second language from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Colorado and the southwest.
