Born 1957, Manila, Philippines.
The artist lives and works in Lignières, France.
Graduated from University of the Philippines with BFA in 1977.
Graduated from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Canada with MFA in 1988.
After leaving turbulent Philippines, the artist seems to have nurtured flexibility and strength through deeply considering the complexity of differences and her inner self in the process of discovering her own identity. Her introspective, yet poetical and strong expressions have been highly acclaimed internationally. The artist has been invited to numerous international exhibitions.
