Artist Statement
“My creations help me envision my spiritual journey and inner peace. The style of my art is rooted from my Filipino culture. My family migrated to America to better our lives from the Philippines. Life is a journey; creativity became my refuge. Art gave me my voice and freedom to share my thoughts. My goal is to expand my horizon in bridging and building a community of artists by sharing and exploring each other’s ideas and inspiration.”
