Thanks for stopping by!

I am an award-winning Filipino-American artist whose work delves into themes of strength and revival through transformation. With a background in music, film studies at UC Berkeley, and art studies in Paris through Columbia University, my experiences enrich my storytelling with a blend of cultural and cinematic influences.

My global film work spans commercial and film sets in the Bay Area, Seattle, and LA, and is highlighted by my time in Nepal, where I documented the design of environmentally sustainable housing for earthquake survivors.

I recently was accepted into Correlación Contemporánea as one of ten Artists in Residence, where I spent the residency researching and painting in the Amazon rainforest of Iquitos, Peru in May 2025.

A marathon runner and competitive boxer for nearly a decade, I bring a unique perspective on endurance to my art, adding to my creative exploration of human strength, adaptation, and the beauty found in overcoming adversity.

My projects all share a common thread of resilience and the pursuit of renewal, reflecting my belief in the power of creative and physical endurance to inspire change.
