She died of stomach cancer on July 27, 1994.
Her work here, an acrylic on canvas, was from her ventures
into two-dimensional artwork toward the end of her life. It
was conceived and inspired by a visit to Balneario de
Boqueron (Boqueron Bay) in the municipality of Rojo Cabo
(Red Cape), which is located on the southwestern part of
Puerto Rico near Mayaquez. It is known among the
islanders as the place to go to avoid the more popular
tourist areas.
