Anna Maria Elisa Manalo

I am a High School Counselor by profession and work freelance as a Screenwriter for film and TV. I am very visual by nature. This has made it easy for me to write and paint how I feel and interpret life.
Painting abstracts with texture and figurative art gives me full expression of the dynamism and dimensionality of life which I also try to evoke in the characters within my film scripts.

Living fully in the moment for me is to be able to express in art and in writing the panoply of scenes I see in my mind's eye: First on canvas, then in my writing.
