Teacher Jade: Jade Gacuan is a Vizcayan artist based in Manila. A graduate of Fine Arts Major in Painting from Far Eastern University, Cum Laude, she has worked as a Graphic Designer in the Metropolitan Museum of Manila and continues to pursue her fine arts career. She had her first solo exhibition in 2016, 365: Art of Being Alone--an exploration of the desolation of everyday life in the province and the city, contrasting urban and rural life as well as finding sentiments and healing in the lonesome life of being independent. In her most recent exhibition Immured Arcadia, held on February 2019, she used her art to raise awareness for Mental and Emotional Health. Through this exhibition she was able to collaborate with writers' literary pieces, calling forth the newer generation to be vocal about these concerns.
