Filipina Pate, owner and founder of Filipina Pate Fine Art

Hello! I'm Filipina!

And, yes, I'm Filipino. My mom told me that even though I was born in America, she wanted me to always remember where I came from. Thanks Mom!

 

I went to St. Mary's College of Maryland and graduated in a bachelor's degree in art. I worked in technology for more than 10 years and co-founded a tech start up. I left technology and started painting again in 2017, and I've been unlearning and learning what it means to be an artist and to make art.

 

So many of the assumptions I had about Art when I was younger just aren't true for me any more. And I'm continually surprised and humbled by what I learn about myself and the creative process as I work today. ​​Painting is a way for me to challenge these assumptions and explore other ways of seeing and understanding my experience.
