Rowena D’Agostino, born and raised in the Philippines, developed her artistic skills early, inheriting her talent from her father. She began drawing and painting in grade school, setting the stage for her creative journey. During the pandemic, Rowena rediscovered her love for art by watching *The Joy of Painting* with Bob Ross, which provided comfort during challenging times. In March of this year, inspired by a church visit, she eagerly resumed painting, focusing on vibrant flowers and landscapes in acrylics. Recently, she has enjoyed experimenting with oil pastels and plans to showcase her new work in an upcoming exhibit. Rowena believes that passion can unlock natural talent, and painting has enriched her life profoundly.
