Deborah Sontag's opinion piece in the New York Times about Carmen Herrera was an inspiring story. How can we have missed these beautiful artworks? Hats off to Carmen!
We have a saying in Puerto Rico. The bus — la guagua — always comes for those who wait.

I do it because I have to do it; it’s a compulsion that also gives me pleasure. I never in my life had any idea of money and I thought fame was a very vulgar thing. So I just worked and waited. And at the end of my life, I’m getting a lot of recognition, to my amazement and my pleasure, actually.
