June Beer (1935-1986) was an Afro-Nicaraguan naïve artist, who gained national and international acclaim for her works depicting African and feminist themes.
She was also the first woman poet of Nicaragua's Atlantic coast and produced works in Miskito Coast Creole, English and Spanish.
The Nicaraguan government protected four of her paintings—Fruit Seller, In Memory of Efie Irene, They Dance and Woman Working—by declaring them as part of the national patrimony.
Removing them from the country is illegal.
