Tree Poinciana Flowas, 2022
Acrylic paint on wood panel (Framed)
24” x 30.5”
$1,150
"Tree Poinciana Flowas" was my first floral work, inspired by a striking cluster of poinciana blossoms I noticed during a drive home. There was something about the way those flowers sat together, full of color and harmony, that I knew I had to recreate it in my style.
Like an earlier piece “Three Gulls,” this work was created using a series of four smaller wooden panels, arranged to form one cohesive image.
Desert Duo, 2024
Acrylic paint on canvas (Framed)
10” x 10”
$475
"Desert Duo" was my second flower painting in this medium. Inspired by the bold beauty of the desert rose, this piece captures the essence of two flowers standing beautifully together under the sun. It was also inspired by the many flowers in my Lola’s yard (Grandmother in Tagalog), where she always kept a generous collection of blooms that added color and character to her home.
Three Gulls, 2022
Acrylic paint on canvas panel (Framed)
SOLD
"Three Gulls" is one of my earliest pieces. Without access to a large canvas at the time, I assembled twelve mini canvas tiles to create a single, cohesive image.
This composition was inspired by a quiet morning ritual during my time as a studio assistant for local collage artist Cydne Coleby. I’d arrive early and sit by Junkanoo Beach, eating breakfast and taking in the calm. One morning, I noticed three seagulls on the wall by the ocean, captured the moment in a photo, and later brought it to life in this piece. It also draws inspiration from Dyah Neilson’s “Balance” from her “Love & Fear” exhibition, which deeply resonated with me.
Twin Ting, 2024
Acrylic paint on ceramic
SOLD
"Twin Ting" is a ceramic piece originally found at a thrift shop in my father’s hometown of Kenora, Ontario. It began as a plain white piece with a black chalkboard center and, for a while, hung in my bedroom featuring a hand-drawn chalk sketch. Years later, I decided to give it new life. This piece followed “Floral Turquoise” and complements it in both flow and pattern, making them natural companions in color, rhythm, and style.
Blue Dolla, 2023
Acrylic paint on canvas panel
SOLD
"Blue Dolla" is a teal sand dollar painted on canvas panel, inspired by the quiet beauty of ocean life. Sand dollars often symbolise peace, transformation, and quiet strength, delicate yet resilient forms shaped by the sea. I chose teal not only for its strong connection to the ocean, but also for its calming, grounding energy. "Blue Dolla" is a reflection of softness, strength, and the quiet power found in nature.
Dot Dolla, 2022
Acrylic paint on watercolor paper
SOLD
"Dot Dolla" was my first sand dollar piece and the first I created using this dotted style. Before having a proper studio, I cleared space on the dining room table to bring it to life.
I’ve always been fascinated by sand dollars, their delicate, fragile shells shaped over time by the sea. They symbolize quiet resilience and completeness, much like the dot work itself: countless tiny marks that might seem small alone but together form a unified whole.
I chose a colorful palette to reflect both diversity and harmony. Each color stands on its own yet blends into a balanced, vibrant composition. This interplay of color and form honors the beauty of variation and connection, just as a sand dollar is naturally shaped by many forces coming together.
