As a multi-media artist, she lived and worked in Paris from 1992 until 2008 after completing a BFA in painting from the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts. Then she graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA) in Paris, winning the prize of its foundation in multi-media work in 1996.

In 2010 she established a company in her hometown of Antipolo City for continued training of fine artists and art assistants. She has organised exhibitions and contemporary art production projects for both local and foreign designers and visual artists.
