NEWS: See my papercut piece along with other incredible work, at the Cutting East to West Exhibition opening on October 7, 2026 at the Heritage Museum of Asian Arts in Chicago.
My work explores history, culture, and human sentiments through hand-cut paper. All my designs are drawn and cut by hand using a small precision knife with innumerable tiny little blades. When I’m not in the studio, I host a radio show Saturday nights on Chicago’s 107.1FM. Before papercutting, I drew political cartoons and a regular comic strip in the Philippines; that same instinct for image and commentary is still what drives my work today.
