My name is Filipina and yes, I am Filipino-American. I graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in art many years ago. After putting art on the back burner for so long, I'm grateful that I now have the time and space in my life to return to painting.

​

It's important to me to share my experience as a Filipina American because I feel that Filipinos are underrepresented in the visual arts, and the arts in general. Being an artist isn't something that was strongly encouraged when I was growing up, so I want to encourage other Filipinos to explore their creative interests and connect with other Filipinos who love making and sharing their view with paint.

 

Painting takes time and patience. I'm not a slow painter but I do need to go through many variations of the same idea before I feel confident and happy with the work I make. I share my short clips of my process on Instagram and I enjoy writing about my art practice here on my blog.
