ⓘ About Yuyi Morales

Her mom was a homemaker, and Morales has said that she made everything from their hats, clothes, coats, and underwear to their curtains, bedspreads, and the lamps. Despite spending all of those nights by the sewing machine, becoming an artist wasn’t a childhood dream for her, because it would’ve been considered crazy. Since she had been a top competitive swimmer during high school, she studied physical education at the Universidad de Xalapa, hoping to teach gym. After graduating, she took a job as a swim coach. While Yuyi worked as a swimming coach in Mexico, she met Tim, her husband and an American citizen, and they had a son, named Kelly. The new family moved to America in 1994.
