I am a gay Filipino artist, born and raised in Virginia Beach. My visual art career started when I moved back home from NYC, where I failed to make it as a ballet dancer. So I decided to go to school for graphic design at Old Dominion University. Plot twist, I ended up falling in love with painting and graduated with a BFA in Painting.??
Based on my theatre/dance background, a lot of my work is about taking old, familiar stories and retelling them through a modern fem-centric lens. I'm drawn to Greek/Roman myths: the idea of such ideal, all powerful beings, so flawed in nature and full of human needs. While I generally make figurative art, I also like to focus on the environment as well: to set the scene, for context.
