my portraits were not poignant, but ordinary persons I see everyday.Sun burned skin from daily toils are my kind of beauty, beauty from everyday struggle, to cope living in the sea.

Past curatorial work

One of my unforgettable curatorial activity in the past few years with The Kalinawa Foundation, http://www.kalinawa.com/   a Canadian group who helps organize and support indigenous art all over the Philippines.
The report tackles my one man saga to organize everything, from start to finish..
Every time I read my report, I  just nod my head, and smile, realizing my accomplishment is not an easy one, but since I love what I am doing, I keep on doing it..
here's the link to my report:
