I’m an artist whose creative path has been anything but ordinary—challenging, healing, and deeply fulfilling.
Born in the jungles of the Philippines, I spent 18 years in England before making Sweden my home in 2008. Along the way, I became a Registered Nurse, worked in various care roles, and even ran my own chiropody clinic in Stockholm. While I built a life helping others, a quiet dream to paint lived inside me—one I was too unsure to pursue.
That changed when I surrounded myself with creative, encouraging people who reminded me of my worth. I finally picked up a brush—and everything transformed.
Painting became my voice. Through it, I began expressing emotions and memories I couldn’t articulate in words. It became a mindful, healing practice—a way to process past trauma, soothe anxiety, and connect with my inner self. Over time, what began as a coping mechanism became a powerful source of joy, insight, and personal growth.
Nature is also deeply woven into my work. I’m passionate about travel, especially exploring botanical gardens and diverse landscapes. I find peace in photographing the natural world, and many of those quiet, beautiful moments find their way into my art.
I primarily work in acrylics, a medium that allows me to freely explore emotion, movement, and storytelling. Each painting reflects a moment in time—often rooted in what I feel, remember, or hope for. Creating brings me a deep sense of peace and fulfillment.
I come from a place of chaos—unwanted, unloved, and unprotected. As a child, I learned to stay small, to please others just to feel seen. But I chose to rise. I chose to heal. Today, I am living proof of resilience and the power of never giving up.
Through my art, I want to give hope—to show others that no matter where you begin, transformation is possible. You are never stuck. You are never too late. And beauty can still bloom from even the hardest places.
If my art speaks to you, I invite you to make it part of your space.
Each piece is more than just a painting—it’s part of my story, and perhaps, a spark for yours. Whether it brings beauty, reflection, or comfort, I hope it adds light to your life.
