Luchita Hurtado passed away on Thursday night at her Santa Monica, California home at age 99 from natural causes. The artist’s gallery, Hauser & Wirth confirmed Hurtado’s death on Friday, according to The New York Times.

Hurtado’s story was an interesting one. She was born in November 1920 in Maiquetía, Venezuela, and emigrated to New York City at 8-years-old.

In New York, young Hurtado lived with her mother, her sister, and two aunts. Hurtado went on to study fine art at Washington Irving High School in Manhattan.

After graduation, Hurtado met and married her first husband, Daniel del Solar at 18-years-old. She eventually had children with Solar but he deserted the family when the second baby came along.
