Tidy is my art practice.

In 2021, while studying nursing at the University of Illinois, I found that my deepest sense of healing came from being fully in tune with my creativity and spirituality.

To stay connected to that part of myself, I started painting on canvas tote bags and sharing them online. Slowly but surely, what began as an outlet grew into a healing practice that spans many mediums, including painting, ceramics, and interior design.

My work evolves as I do. Each piece is part of an ongoing story shaped by my upbringing in the Midwest as a first-generation Filipino American, beginning my nursing career and working closely with patients, building deep female friendships, falling in love, experiencing heartbreak, and finding myself through it all, over and over again.

I’ve realized there is no single way to define life, and my art helps me understand its dualities and juxtapositions. My work embraces both playfulness and childlike curiosity while carrying a sense of depth, wisdom, and soul. Each piece holds an emotional connection from within me, as it is created from deep intention, love, and honesty. 

As I have found my place here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest city of Seattle, I am devoted to expanding this practice through intuition and trust.
