Bachelor Of Fine Arts undergraduate from the University of the Philippines; worked as an illustrator/cartoonist and infographic artist for newspapers for over 20 years, namely, The Daily Globe (The Philippines), The Straits Times (Singapore), The Province and The Vancouver Sun (British Columbia, Canada) and The Toronto Star (Ontario, Canada). Digital painting brings me full circle to my first love, the Fine Arts, without the inconveniences in using paints and brushes.
