We met at the UP Grandstand on July 4, 2000. I was Chair of the UP Repertory Company and it was our applicants’ orientation. She was one of the applicants of the org and they were assigned to introduce themselves by showcasing their “unique” talents. Hers was singing ABC with burp sounds. 😂 We were both butches then so she was like a baby bro to me. 😅 I was 20, she was 18. We had no idea how we’d become part of each others’ lives in the future. Thank you, universe, for making that moment happen. Thank you, @uprepertory and the Sunken Garden! 🌈 #pride #pridestories #lgbt #lgbtq #pridemonth #resisttogether #proudtogether (at UP Sunken Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByuDc6SHBHp/?igshid=3svjxaomi86i

There are a lot more lovely things to see at the Spanish Village Art Center inside Balboa Park but because aqua-teal is @teejai ‘s fave color, and she loves biking, I posed for a photo with the door and the bike instead :) 07.02.18 📸: @g.suis #sandiego #california #teal #balboapark (at Spanish Village Art Center - Balboa Park)

Last week’s highlight, our exhibit opening at Art Anton. :-) I am so happy I jumped off the cliff as this turned out to be one of the most fulfilling moments of my life. I just bought a new canvas and I’m starting a new painting soon :) Thank you so much @teejai for supporting me in this journey ❤️ . . . . . #painting #artgallery #acrylicpainting #bondibeach #landscapeofsouls #artistsoninstagram (at Conrad Manila)

This is it! A milestone and a dream come true for me. Our group exhibit, entitled “UpDate” opens tonight, 6PM at Art Anton, Conrad Hotel. The story behind my work, The Landscape of Souls, is about my journey to wholeness. I am an artist swayed to the world of entrepreneurship by accident. Managing a creative agency for 13 years has molded me and allowed me to cultivate the other side of my brain. It has been wonderful, but a string in my heart kept pulling me to go back to my roots. And so I did. This work of art is about diving into the unknown and going beyond my comfort zone. It is about two opposing forces harmoniously completing a whole. The land embodies calmness, structure and certainty — embracing the rigidity of rules and strategic planning. The water weaves the raging ideas, curiousity and impulsiveness. Like the Yin and Yang, each artwork is seemingly oblivious to its pair. The Landscape of Souls are two pairs of diptych with the element of one in the other. The artworks may be separated and may find home in different places, but the pairs will always be connected. I believe in Serendipity. Two souls may be in different worlds but there will always be something that connects them. “There is an internal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives. Those who are lucky enough to find it, ease like water over a stone, on to its fluid contours, and are home.” — Josephine Hart #acrylicpainting #painting #landscapeofsouls #artistsoninstagram #exhibit #gallery
