What will become of an intimate red rose if it isn't sprinkled with protective thorns? In Ernestine's perspective of Acantha, she unravels the colors of an alarmingly beautiful life. It's much like the unexpected challenges that greet us on this dangerous game we call life.

At a young age, most painters would develop their love for art through coloring books and sketches. For this Filipina, however, it started with a dream of traveling the world. The beauty in different cultures, people, and sceneries has influenced her passion for art. From the rich culture of Asia to the classical ambiance of Europe, she has engraved these sceneries in her heart, using their exquisite taste for art as inspiration for her oil paintings. With intricate yet delicate strokes, her paintings consist of vibrant colors as well as a unique texture, all working together to capture one’s eye and touch one’s heart. Her images are not only pleasing to the eye but are also a remedy to the soul. They bring out stories that need not be spoken but felt and imagined.
