About the artist: Born in Tampa, Florida on December 8, 1927, Ferdie Pacheco earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Florida and his Medical Doctorate from the University of Miami. Following early success as a pharmacist and physician, Pacheco served for seventeen years as the corner man for twelve boxing world champions, including Muhammad Ali, earning himself the nickname “Fight Doctor.” Pacheco went on to work as a television boxing analyst, a career that spanned 25 years and won him two Emmy Awards. As a painter, Pacheco’s bold and colorful works are reflections of his life, most notably a childhood spent in the heavy Cuban influences of Ybor City. His artistic skills have earned him numerous awards, including the Best Colorist Award from the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris, as well as the Gold Medal, First Prize, and the Best Latin American Artist Award from Le Centre Culturel Paul-Dumail in Tonneins, France. Pacheco is also known for his work as an author, nationally published columnist, actor, and screenwriter. Pacheco died in his sleep at his home in Miami on November 16, 2017, at the age of 89.
