shadow of the divine
perfection."

Buonarroti Simoni
I believe that when God
created each one of us, he put
the seed of creativity in our
souls. so everyone is an
artist and everything that we
create is a masterpiece
because we all share in God's,
the Master Artist's,
creativity....

| Your Personal Biography |
When people ask me how I learned to paint, I couldn’t give them an exact answer.
I’m not so sure, myself. I did not take any art lessons.
All I know is why I learned to paint. As a child, I felt this powerful attraction to beauty… a flower in a field, rain puddles on the street, cloud formations, the lone fire tree in the meadow where we played, the sweetness and helplessness of a newborn puppy, Audrey Hepburn ( I used to watch old movies a lot!), beautiful patterns on a dress, sunbeams through the cracks of an old window, and yes, the arresting view of Mount Banahaw. I guess it helped that I spent my growing-up years in Sariaya where every morning, I woke up to the sight of our mystic mountain.
We lived at the end of the street. Beyond that are acres and acres of meadows where, we, neighborhood kids spend our summers catching dragonflies, flying kites and picking seeds from wild plants. Near the ridge that leads to the river there was this lone fire tree and I would sneak out during nap times to play under its shade or just to lie down daydreaming under its orange and yellow foliage. It became my fire tree and I was heartbroken when they started building a housing project there. Things change and so I try to record through artwork the soul of each moment I find profoundly beautiful.
While in college studying English Literature, I wrote poetry and short stories which were published in leading magazines and journals.
Sometimes I would accompany each artwork with a verse I have written... my thoughts while painting it.
After college I worked as creative consultant and director for various companies and organizations.
Now a full-time painter, I do not see myself as a professional in any of my pursuits in art and writing.I love doing art so much that I do not see making them as work. It is rather an answer to that need inside my soul to reproduce how I see things with my heart's eye, the need to hold something raw and use it to express how the wonderful things in God's good earth move me. |
