Through these quilts, the artist incorporates her own personal experiences and message that "women can go beyond their stereotypical roles." It shows that parenting and complex multiple roles should not be seen as hurdles to pursue one's dream and exercise one's God-given talents. Her art underscores the existence of freedom of choice in the pursuit of happiness. The young artist herself is a single parent and always wanted to be a visual artist. Through determination and hard work, she has become a multi-awarded fashion accessories designer and is soon to complete another milestone - her formal collegiate studies in visual arts from the University of the Philippines.
