I had a fortunate opportunity to meet artist Pacita Abad when I was living in metropolitan Washington DC. She was very very kind, generous and has smart sense of humor that reflects in her traputo artwork. Sadly she died early just as when she was blossoming in the peak of her painting art 🖼 career.
On this day in 1984, a Filipina artist named Pacita Abad from the Batanes Islands in northern Philippines won a prestigious “Outstanding Young Men Award.” It made a lot of men angry.
Today, Google honors her. https://t.co/9kr3qvTeuX pic.twitter.com/xQSSNBfVvD
