Pacita Abad

Young Pacita's life took a turn when she found herself immersed in the bohemian spirit of sunny San Francisco. She spent her life travelling the world, spending time with marginalised communities, and drawing attention to socio-political issues through her art.

From traversing the highlands of Papua New Guinea to visiting refugee camps in Bangladesh to experiencing the rich cultures of Southeast Asia, this book tells the inspiring story of Filipino artist Pacita Abad - the woman who painted the world.
