Painting

General info

Painting is part of how I call Canada home and how I maintain connection with my ancestral home and culture across distance and time. It is this duality, rooted in two cultural and artistic traditions, that inspires my work. 

An immigrant from the Philippines, I was struck by the contrasts between the two countries: the climate, colours, history, and culture. My relationships with Canada, my adopted home, and the Philippines, my ancestral home, continue to evolve. Similarly, my artistic influences reflect the traditions of both homes. I am inspired by the works of Emily Carr and Lawren Harris just as I am by works of Botong Francisco and Nemiranda. 

After 41 years working in the architectural field, I retired to devote more time to painting. I am thankful for the continuing artistic inspiration that I find in my home here in Regina, and for the opportunity to share and celebrate my Philippine heritage through art.
