1925-28

Herrera’s brother Addison, a talented painter, instills in her an appreciation for art. Together they take drawing and painting lessons with Federico Edelmann y Pinto (1869–1931), a language professor and painter who founded the Asociación de Pintores y Escultores de Cuba and established the annual Salon de Bellas Artes in 1916. Herrera also takes harp lessons.
