Noelyn Joy Numbalang

A self-taught artist and business owner. She grew up in Ifugao, but started her art career in Baguio City. Initially, she enrolled in architecture, but due to life’s twists and turns, she had to discontinue her studies.


Her art journey began in 2014 when she joined online art groups. Despite having little background in drawing portraits, her eagerness to learn drove her to practice portraiture through online tutorials. She eventually explored other mediums. She didn't limit herself to charcoal and graphite, she also delved into the vibrant world of acrylic paints. This paved the way for her to participate in various local art exhibits in the city.


She currently resides in the province, where she runs a business selling branded thrift items. She expresses her talent by transforming jackets, bags, wallets, and shoes into canvases for her art. As a self-taught artist, she embraces a unique journey of learning and creativity.


Like an unfinished artwork, she sees herself as a 'work-in-progress,' always willing to learn and further improve her skills through experimentation and exploration.
