Artist Statement

I migrated to Australia in 1997 from the Philippines. I am an Austronesian, Spanish & Malay-Filipino descent. With my cultural background has its advantages because I can understand different languages, I might not fluent but I can understand the basic conversation. I am a visual artist with a focus on interdisciplinary practices and specializing in the field of Textile/Fibre/Wearable Art making, Environmental Art and Graphic & Wildlife Costume designing and project management. I hope through my works it will influence you that art is not just about painting beautiful scenery but it can be used as a catalyst for community based projects. My vast knowledge in visual arts mixed media, it means that it allows me to work closely and collaboratively with the community mostly in rural and regional areas in Australia.
