Sunstar Daily's Leticia Suarez says, "Her paintings are like a breath of green air in the local art scene. It's like going from the dusty street into a woody hide-away that's full of magical secrets."[3]

She has published a bilingual collection of poetry called Brazos Abiertos/Open Arms (World Poetry Publishing, Vancouver 2003)[4] and short stories Cuentos Hispano-filipinos/Hispano-Philippine Stories (Central Books, Manila, 2009).[5]
