| Introduction | I grew up in the Philippines where I would play among the imposing machines of the printing press that dad owned. I would take stacks of paper scraps, climb towers of cardboard sheets, and draw where no one could find me. I never thought that I was nurturing an art career from a young age. I had always thought I'd be an engineer like my dad. I tended to my math and science education closely, excelling in those subjects but rarely drawing. I felt bored. College is right around the corner and I still haven't figured what makes me happy. It dawned on me that I was happiest when drawing. Drawing is problem-solving with creative solutions. Every stroke, slash and dot tests your decision-making skills. When you find the solution, you are rewarded with a beautiful picture. From then on, serious study began. Now art is my life. When I look back, I can scarcely believe that that kid - that barefoot girl running around the lint-filled air of the printing press - has turned into this woman, who draws and animates for a living. Who would have thought, that sitting on a tower of cardboard, drawing while listening to the white noise of the printing press was the beginning of everything? |
