Beatriz M RoblesArt, whether it's writing, painting, experimenting with photography, or playing the clarinet is second nature to Beatriz Robles. Bea has always enjoyed churning out metaphors as natural as whistling classical tunes and dabbling in colors and shapes o paper. She draws from a mixed cultural background, growing up in the "garden state" of New Jersey and graduating in the Philippines with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Major in Creative Writing, from Ateneo de Manila University.

Her favorite things include a good book, a pencil, and her clarinet. Read More Read Less
