Originally from the Philippines, Mina immigrated to Canada in 1977 and is currently residing and working in Toronto. In 2004, she left her career in Human Resources to pursue her passion in drawing and painting. Although she attended various schools to strengthen her drawing skills, in painting, Mina is self-taught. As a contemporary realist painter, Mina’s main focus is in still life and portraiture. Her technique is based on the academic or traditional style of painting; a technique that emphasizes skill and draftsmanship. She works out of Adelaide Street Studio located in downtown Toronto. Mina has participated in various group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Her paintings hang in private collections in Canada and abroad.
