Bio
Using clay as a medium of expression or communication was love at first touch. Clay is pliable, forgiving and unpredictable. Unpredictable because sometimes it can direct your work onto a different path.

Clay is also a teacher – one learns to be pliable, forgiving and open to possibilities.

Much of my work is figurative and inspired by the rich culture of the Philippines, the land of my birth. Being away from my native land gives me a deep yearning for it. This longing finds its expression in my work and their titles: emotions associated with affection and expressions of identity. It is a pleasure to share these with everyone.
