The Life Painting

At a young age, Anna discovered her talent when she started drawing portraits and nature. Her excitement grew when her family and friends started admiring her work. She continued to draw when she had free time or whenever she got inspired. She later developed a love for photography as well which she considers another extension of her artistry. Her photography career spanned 15+ years starting in the darkroom and culminating as a professional photographer. More recently she was a proprietor and cake artist making one-of-a-kind custom cakes. Anna was born in the Philippines and grew up in a family of artists where she developed different styles. She came to United States and studied arts in San Francisco Bay Area where she had an opportunity to learn and explore different mediums from charcoal to oil with the help of her talented teachers. The artists who influence her work include Monet, Dali and Georgia O’Keefe. She also gets inspiration from being a cancer survivor and from travels around the world.
