1978 - 1992
Pacita started her travels with a two-month trip to Mexico and then spent another year hitchhiking from Turkey all the way across Asia to the Philippines. 

During these trips, Pacita came face to face with a range of cultures dramatically different from her own. These initial journeys later lead to longer stays in Bangladesh, Thailand, Sudan, Dominican Republic and other parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Unlike many artists of her generation, Pacita has not confined herself to a studio, as the countries in which she has traveled and worked, have in reality been her "studios". 

Here, in the broadest possible cultural environments, she has studied, recorded and created and each of these stays has had a significant effect on both her attitude towards life and the strength of her paintings.
