| About Artist: |
| I was born and raised in the bustling metropolis of Cebu City in the Philippines, where I graduated magna cum laude from the University of the Philippines with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art. I’ve done a lot of different things in my arts career including organizing and teaching summer art workshops, leading a team of illustrators in developing content for English tutorial software, putting together solo and group art exhibits in different countries, and of course, my favorite: writing and illustrating comic books. Currently, I reside in Halifax, Nova Scotia where I am exploring my Canadian heritage. |
