ALTHEA is a multidisciplinary artist who specializes in visual storytelling. He prides himself on his sensitivity to matters of the soul, a skill fine-tuned as one who often finds himself in the margins — he is queer, transgender, and of the Filipino diaspora. His artistic journey has brought him through the rich fields of poetry, science fiction, surreal portraiture, drawing and painting in mixed media, to name a few. He is currently working on his premier graphic novel, Chrysalis, a queer cyberpunk story about family, found or otherwise.
