Carla Co Chua has loved drawing and painting since childhood, and her earliest influences include popular anime and cartoon shows on Philippine television. She graduated cum laude in information and communication technology manage­ment from De La Salle University in Manila and, after several years of navigating the corporate world, she decided to reignite her passion for painting. Through her consistent social media postings on Instagram and YouTube and interactions with her audience, Carla found another calling: teaching. She has hosted several public and private art workshops since 2017 and has collaborated with art supply brands to teach acrylic and watercolor painting at art events around Metro Manila. Carla con­tinues to inspire artists with her beautiful artwork, which includes florals, animals, portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. Carla lives in Manila, Philippines.
