Mhara, a painter from Dipaculao, Aurora, and Olongapo, Zambales, discovered her talent in childhood but initially pursued business before returning to art. A Fine Arts graduate from the University of the East, she is mainly self-taught, drawing inspiration from real-life events and wildlife.

 Her paintings tell meaningful stories using coffee, oil, and acrylic, with proceeds supporting the Aeta community and stray animals.

A 15-year member of Buklod Sining, her work has reached international galleries and national art fairs. Aspiring for global recognition, she continues to create with purpose.
