Vanessa is an emerging contemporary artist born in Manila, Philippines. But her hometown province is on Lubang Island, Occidental Mindoro, where she fell in love with its picturesque landscapes and calming sea waves.

From an early age, she discovered art was her soul mate, yet she took a different path and became a licensed civil engineer. Still, she was able to pursue her passion and decided to become a full-time visual artist.

Recognized locally and internationally, she has participated in numerous shows, such as exhibits at the National Museum of Natural History, National Commission for Culture and Arts Gallery, GSIS Museo ng Sining, Newport World Resorts, and Conrad Manila. She was also part of curated exhibits in Singapore, Malaysia, and Paris, France.

Awarded as “Finalist in Manila Bulletin Sketchfest 2020” and “Art Show Philippines’ Top Selling Artists 2020-2021,” she was one of the judges at the Province of Occidental Mindoro’s “First Arawatan Likhaan Art Competition.”

Her creative journey has been featured by several media outlets, such as Rappler, When in Manila, Art Pilipinas, Metroscene Mag, Pilipino Mirror, Manila Bulletin, Philippine Star, Novice Magazine 03, and the Philippine Modernism Art Book, distributed to various art galleries and libraries.
