Hello, fellow
nature and animal lover!

I've loved drawing for as long as I can remember.

Some of my earliest memories are of sitting beside my grandfather, Lolo Marcing, watching him sketch on scraps of paper. As soon as he finished, I would eagerly add my own touches - little ribbons, sleeves, buttons, and details from my imagination. Those moments sparked a lifelong love of creating.

Today, I work primarily in watercolor, creating artwork inspired by the animals, birds, and everyday moments that bring joy to our lives. Whether it's a beloved pet, a curious wild bird, or a peaceful scene from nature, I'm drawn to subjects that tell quiet stories and celebrate meaningful connections.

Originally from the Philippines and now based in New Zealand, I've found endless inspiration in the beauty of the natural world and the companionship of animals. My own flock of cockatiels - Lalo, Tuco, Walter, and Jesse - often make their way into my sketchbooks and paintings, reminding me daily of the personalities, quirks, and bonds that make animals so special.

In 2020, I returned to art after years spent pursuing a different career path. What began as a creative outlet soon grew into a deeper calling. Since then, I've explored watercolor, acrylic, and oil painting, created murals, and painted commissioned portraits. Through every piece, my goal remains the same: to create artwork that brings warmth, joy, and lasting memories.

I believe art has the power to preserve the things we love most. Whether I'm painting a cherished pet, a favorite bird, or a meaningful moment, I hope each piece becomes something that makes people smile every time they see it.
