Katey Oliva is finally on her path to becoming a full-time artist, a dream she had at the ripe age of five. To quote her younger self, “I want to be a ‘drawer’!”

Katey is currently taking up her second degree in the University of the Philippines while juggling a full-time job.

As she continues to hone her skill in realism, she has opened herself up to new possibilities to develop her craft and discover new mediums.

She is a newly inducted member of the Philippine Pastel Artists and she hopes to find similar opportunities to share her art to a community she has longed to be a part of.
