Geraldine aka Geri is a Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate with a major in Painting from the University of the Philippines – Cebu City. She has shared her love for the visual arts through several summer art workshops in the Philippines which she organized and facilitated.  She has also taught street and indigent children through  partnership with the local DSWD and World Vision chapters rooted in the belief that art should be made accessible to all.

For her day job she has worked as a graphic designer in Manila, Cebu, Shenzhen and Chicago. She currently resides in Evanston, Illinois with her literary writer husband, teen-aged son and two cats. She divides her time being a Presentation Designer, graphic designer, fine artist, wife, mother and taking long walks by the lake.

My paintings combine my love for capturing the human form, their spirit and likeness in bold colors and brushstrokes.
