San Antonio mourns the loss of artist Rebecca Medina. Medina’s life-size dolls captured the attention of many in some of San Antonio’s biggest celebrations.
Medina passed away Sunday morning, according to her daughter, Bethany DeLeón.
Her salon chair is empty and tools untouched, yet her essence is all around. The Catrina-inspired hats, skeleton dolls and awards speak to the talent of the San Antonio artist.Medina’s friend of 35 years, Richard Sánchez, proudly shows off the artwork that fills the salon. “Working side by side with her, I will never forget those moments,” DeLeón said. “That talent, that energy, that drive to make beautiful things -- and not just artwork, but giving love to people and to make people happy.”“My mom definitely had a style. You could say Rebecca Madina made that,” DeLeón said.
