Ethel Dimacuha took up a master's degree in Art History at the University of the Philippines Diliman and was an Art History and Humanities professor at St. Scholastica’s College, the Technological University of the Philippines, and the Lyceum of the Philippines, notably representing the latter as a Teacher Grantee in the JICA 21st Century Japan-Philippine Teachers Goodwill Program. She mounted her first solo exhibition in 1981, and in 1987, she won Third Prize at the Art Association of the Philippines Competition with her large scale piece "Trees". The same subject now became the hallmark of her recent return to the art scene. She reinterprets this foundational motif into vibrant, contemporary expressions using oil pastel on sandpaper, mixed media on canvas and acrylic on canvas. Her visual narratives merge bold textures and patterns to create compelling artworks of optimism, growth, and resilience. Her artistic contributions have also been recognized in prominent publications, with her works featured at Palettes of the World and Philippine Modernism. To date, she has participated in several group shows and held 9 Solo Exhibitions.
