About the Artist




Capturing images during my travel and creating art are my passion. I consider these as my communication tool at the purest form. Images and arts I create celelebrate the beauty of ordinary images- real or imagined.

My everyday cameria is my iPhone. I got a DSLR but got tired of lugging it because it's bulky and heavy. I hope to get a smaller camera with DSLR features. Someday. For now, I'm having fun using my iPhone camera.

As for my art, I'm a watercolor artist. I usually travel with my small watercolor palette, 3 brushes and watercolor pad. I also have my sketchbook and pens in my bag for fast sketches and drawings.

My goal is to be able to share my immediate emotional response, when I see images from my travels and just wish that I may be able to invoke the same with my viewers via my photos or my watercolor.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I'm not an interesting person but I hope my journey will inspire somebody to share their adventures.

Here are some of the places where I had my watercolor paintings exhibited.  Not much but hopefully a start of a new career :)
