Description
Aydee Rodriquez Lopez is an international recognized painter from the Costa Chica region of Mexico. She did not start painting professionally until her 40’s, although it was always a life-long dream. Being left a teenaged orphan, with a younger brother to raise, Aydee spent her youth working several jobs until she saved to send her brother to college.
After taking care of her grandmother in her last days, Aydee made a promise to her that she would take up painting full time and has kept a vow to paint every day since.
She uses traditions passed from generations and her AfroMexican culture as an inspiration for her paintings.
