About Pacita Barsana Abad

Pacita Barsana Abad (October 5, 1946 – December 7, 2004) was an Ivatan and Philippine-American painter. Her more than 30-year painting career began when she traveled to the United States to undertake graduate studies. She exhibited her work in over 200 museums, galleries, and other venues, including 75 solo shows, around the world.

Abad developed a technique of trapunto painting (named after a quilting technique), which entailed stitching and stuffing her painted canvases to give them a three-dimensional, sculptural effect.

Both of Abad's parents served, at different times, as Congressman/Congresswomen of Batanes.
