My Grandmother, the Artist

2/21/2013

0 Comments

 
My grandmother, Socorro del Rosario Valencia was the most influential person in my life. She inspired me to cook, sew, be a lady, take care of my skin, appreciate traveling the world, and most importantly to pursue my career in art.

This photo of my grandmother was taken on a trip to New York sometime in the 1960s. She dressed so lady-like in a fitted suit, pearls and mink stole.

This is one of my grandmother's paintings. She loved flowers so painted them frequently plus other subjects she loved. She was a self taught artist so the style is naïve but charming. She signed her paintings as "Coring", her Filipino nickname, short for Socorro.  

She passed away on February 21, 1983, 30 years ago today. I miss her so much.
