Michelle Panesa

Currently in her freshman year in the Visual Communication department of American University in Dubai, Michelle aspires to conquer the world with tablet pen in hand. Born in Doha, Qatar, and having lived in Dubai for as long as she can remember, this quiet young lady is purely Filipino and enjoys eating the casual chicken adobo every once in a while. When not vigorously working on an art assignment or raving over deadlines, she can be found practically latched onto a computer, especially when said computer has an active Internet connection. On other occasions she spends free time reading or roaming game arcades, and her music preference ranges from classical music to trance and happy hardcore mixes. Whilst having reaped the benefits of traditional art classes, her preference and greatest joy lies in painting digitally on Photoshop with her trusty 5-year-old Wacom Graphire tablet. With inspiration sourced from books and games she comes across, she takes up the challenge of converting vision and thought into reality.
