Instructor | Angelique Bulosan
“I’m a Filipino-Canadian, self-taught, multi-media artist. I was born and raised in Victoria, BC, Canada, traditional Lekwungen Territory, where I make small batches of art in my home studio. My art reflects the personal touchstones in my life as well as dreams during sleep and meditation. It’s also inspired by my practice of mindfulness, reading art comix, and being in nature.”
