Change is good and character growth is defined by how someone evolves into a better person by being true to themselves. There is also consistency in how their personality defines their work. The passion that still burns in their eyes shows their adoration for their craft wanting to keep their feet on the ground while soaring to greater heights by shedding their skin or “Sheepskin.” Iyan De Jesus sums up as one of those local visual artists who have been working on her craft for more than a decade. She continues to define the odds and challenges of life in finding love for her work as it feels like the first time, which shows how her artwork has evolved over the years like she is telling her story beneath her works.

You’ve seen it once you have seen it and most of the time going to local galleries you get used to the crowd. Then you learn more about the featured artist. For Iyan De Jesus, it’s been a long road for her work to be noticed. The same way Vinyl on Vinyl was just starting in a small art space that is nothing more than a high-rise condo presently at the old location where De Jesus started. VoV has been bouncing around to a location and then settled to their permanent home, where you will find other art galleries. In the same way, Iyan has slowly continued to refine and master her art style. Most of her background has been defined by gears, but she continues to experiment with keeping that signature aesthetics.
