ARTIST, CREATIVE, BUSINESSWOMAN. Her diverse background in print, fabrication, creative direction & digital strategy has allowed her to develop a multi sensory approach to her work as a visual artist. She's much more than the "It Girl About Town" going from one art event to another.
Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got into art? I use to own a digital agency but slowly got into art through resin sculptures, photography, metal work and now painting.
How would you describe your style or artistic voice? My voice is about my identity and inner self that is shaped by my roots and culture. Most of my work is intuitive and often how I feel rather than intellectualized pieces of work.
Who are your biggest influences, past or present? My biggest influences are my friends in the local art community. It’s more about the energy that bounces off each other that ignites me.
How do you balance creating art with the business side of being an artist? I learned from an artist friend to schedule in art like it were business or work. Setting aside the time helps me be consistent in creating and still working on my businesses.
What’s one thing people often misunderstand about your work or process? I think a lot of my work is abstract but since I use different mediums, my work per medium has a totally different look and feel as if a different person created them. I think people look for a consistent body of work to identify to the artist but I am still in the process of creating and exploring.
How do you approach exhibiting your work—do you prefer galleries, online platforms, or something else? I don’t really have a preference, but I honestly don’t have a lot of my work online. I have to work on that!
What themes or messages are you exploring in your work? Right now it is all about my inner self as guided by Filipino deity. I had an oracle reading once and those themes have resonated deeply since.
Are there any personal experiences that have deeply influenced your art? It is always about sitting with nature and that spiritual connection that comes with it. I did have work from my burned workshop - I was exploring the resurrection and impermanence of my salvaged pieces. I used light and resin to hold the lens from which I was experiencing these pieces.
Do you think your work reflects the world around you—or offers an escape from it? My work holds space for the nuances of the world around me.
Has your style or subject matter changed over time? It’s always changing! I am building a deeper, more focused body of work.
