Contemporary Artist
I am a multidisciplinary artist with an internationally recognised practice that elevates the voices of the Filipino diaspora through the visual arts. My work is driven by a commitment to creativity, inclusivity and community, making art a powerful space for self-expression and empowerment.
Exploring space, time and the humanity of the Filipino diaspora, I sensitively tell our diverse stories through portraiture, movement, installation and moving image. I aim to break free from our erased and disconnected history by dismantling simplistic stereotypes to reveal the vibrant, complex and robust nature of our people. My practice transforms visual traditions into a mode of acceptance and reconnection, providing visibility and representation for Filipinos worldwide.
Expertise
With a Master’s-level education in fashion design, photography and fine art, I bring a dynamic blend of artistic vision, strategic leadership and cross-disciplinary collaboration. My experience spans creative direction, communication, mentoring, institutional change and fostering strong partnerships. Building spaces where creativity and cultural storytelling intersect.
Creative Education
Education has always been central to my artistic practice, shaping my journey through first hand experience as a student and then as an educator. I have carried this ethos forward through my career by mentoring, leading classes, supporting postgraduate teaching and learning, and facilitating community workshops. Striving to bring the freedom and creative exploration of the art school experience into lifelong learning.
Now, as part of the PG Cert Creative Education programme with my colleagues at the Royal College of Art, I engage in critical discussions on curriculum design, the pedagogies of making and education for change. The programme’s emphasis on self-reflection enables me to examine my lived experience as an British Anglo-Filipina artist and educator within the broader context of the Filipino diaspora worldwide. Through reflection, experimentation, and collaboration, I am developing educational practices that foster authenticity, autonomy, and self-agency; particularly for those navigating identity within a Western-centric global landscape.
