Esperanza Martínez
Esperanza Martínez (1934–1998) was a Mexican-born painter who lived in Southern California. She was known for portraits and genre scenes of rural Mexican farmers, formal portraits of prominent Mexican-Americans and pastel paintings of native American subjects. As a precocious young artist, Martinez studied with the famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. She moved to the Los Angeles area in 1963 and lived with her family in Hacienda Heights. Martinez died from cancer in 1998.〔The Los Angeles Times Obituary dated January 16, 1998, references her cause of death.〕
==Childhood and Artistic Training==
Esperanza Martinez was born as Esperanza Perez was in Mexico City in 1934. She was a precocious talent who began drawing at the age of three at her grandfather's urging. She began painting under the supervision of an art teacher at seven and then, as she matured, she began to study more formally and sold her first painting at the age of twelve. In later interviews she stated that she received little encouragement from her family as they felt that female artists like Frida Kahlo were less than virtuous women.〔This comment came in an interview a few years before her untimely death.〕 Ironically, it was Frida Kahlo's husband, Diego Rivera who Martinez credited with giving her the confidence to become a professional artist.〔All this information is referenced in the Los Angeles Times obituary on January 16, 1998 and also in Shifra Goldman's biographical essay.〕
