A Bacoloña artist has turned to the Internet to sell her art, in the process discovering that she could be a stay-at-home mom and still have a lucrative career.
Alpha Trinidad-Shanahan, 45, who recently held a one-woman show in Bacolod City, is now based in Brunei with her husband Philip Shanahan with whom she has twins, Conner and Niall, 5.Shanahan, who also has a twin named Sigma, is a former nun, teacher and a cancer survivor.
“I am a self-taught artist who has discovered the joys of drawing and painting in my 30s. Now I am a stay-at-home mom and grateful for my passion for art, which helps me balance my energy especially through the days when domestic duties can be very demanding,” she said.
“Creativity is a gift and my response is to give my best in every artwork so it becomes a prayer of thanksgiving to God the Almighty,” Shanahan added.
