Although having entered the art scene fairly recently, Organo has honed her skills in quite a short period of time. Having semi-retired from a career in the pharmaceutical industry, Organo – already a mother of four adult children – decided to take her nascent passion for art and forge a solo career in the art scene. Starting with the rudiments of painting by taking formal lessons in 2014, she moved on to sculpture by pursuing studies in glass sculpture at the prestigious and internationally renowned Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass in New York. In New York, she learned coldworking and glass lamination under the tutelage of topnotch Czech artists, among the world’s most renowned masters of glass. Taking various techniques from different fields – including tile mosaic and construction, she honed her technique to the point of mastery before returning to the Philippines, where receptive critics were quick to hail her practice. After several one-woman exhibitions in Makati, Organo made her first major debut in last year’s ManilART at SMX in SM Aura with her exhibit “Kaleidoscopic Visions.”
