Franchesca Songco

I am a self-taught artist born and raised in the Philippines. I specialize in oils and is happiest when doing en plein air.

One day while I was making art for fun for the residents to enjoy at my casual job, I was approached and asked "Then why the hell are you working here? You should be out there making art" as a response to their admiration to my creation. Since then, I had a lot to think about.

I am deeply fascinated with the opportunities and possibilities of getting involved in the art community in Canada. Because of that, I am inspired to influence other young people like me to get out there and create and see for themselves that they too can achieve their dreams.
