I have been through so much—loved, betrayed, broken, healed, and fallen again. But no matter what, I rise. Because I am strong. Because I am a mother &amp; life is just so beautiful. Stepping away from showbiz, even for a while, allowed me to see life without filters. No pretensions, just truth. I focused on Zoe (her daughter). I faced the real world. And in the process, I found something I didn’t know I was looking for.</p><p>&quot;My hands can express what my heart feels. I never studied painting, but I know this is where I’m meant to be. I am a work in progress, but I’m ready to grow, to learn, to create. This is my journey, and I want to share it with you. I hope you’ll be part of it. I’ll be posting my art, my progress, my soul. Here’s to new beginnings.”</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-33" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGr2m2ixYbv/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A33%2C%22os%22%3A7858111.600000009%2C%22ls%22%3A993075.1000000089%2C%22le%22%3A993080.400000006%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-33" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>In her latest post last March 3, Sofia shared one of her latest works, a portrait of a girl.

I love portraits, drawing eyes, weird stuff, auras, the moon, zodiacs, angels, the universe even aliens. But how do I fit it all on one canvas?! I’m both scared and excited. I need more artist friends to help me develop my skills and have real conversations about anything under the sun. Pls adopt me, guys!
