About the Instructor

Hello, I’m Alma.

I’m a first generation immigrant from the Philippines currently living on occupied lands of the Duwamish Tribe and Coast Salish people, also called Seattle. I identify as Filipino-American and I use she/her pronouns.

I love being close to nature and creating art.

As a child growing up on the island of Oahu, I often came home (my mom says) from trips to the beach or woods with my pockets bulging with rocks, sticks, shells, and other natural items. I learned how to find edible fruits in the woods and edible seaweeds on the beach. My father grew both an edible and ornamental garden as I do today. As an elementary school teacher, I conducted classes in the school garden, took my students on walks in the woods and on the beach, taught them to keep a nature journal, and painted along-side my students during art class. As a now 20+ resident of the Pacific Northwest, I spend much of my time on our beaches and in the woods. I nature journal in the field and bring my experiences home as inspiration into my art.

Excellent Mock Neck T-Shirts
Color: Wine Red, Navy Blue, Black, Size: Medium
 As a man who appreciates comfort and style, I can confidently say these August Alley mock neck t-shirts are a solid choice. I'm always looking for versatile basics, and these fit the bill perfectly. The cotton material feels great against the skin, and they've held their shape well after a few washes. I appreciate the slim fit; it looks modern without being too tight. Whether I'm wearing them casually or layering them under a jacket, they always look sharp. For the price, getting a 3-pack of these quality shirts is a fantastic deal. Highly recommend them for any guy looking to upgrade his basic tee collection.

Comfortable, lightweight, and very practical
Size: 40, Color: Black
These Vcansion cargo shorts are extremely comfortable and easy to wear. The cotton fabric is lightweight and breathable, making them great for warm weather. The loose fit gives plenty of room to move without feeling baggy or sloppy. The multiple pockets are a big plus. They’re well sized and actually usable, which makes these shorts perfect for casual wear, travel, or working around the house. They sit comfortably at the waist and feel well made for the price. If you want casual shorts that are comfortable, functional, and versatile, these are a great buy. I’d definitely pick up another pair.

​Best lightweight cargo shorts I own!
Size: 34, Color: Black, Size: 34, Color: Black
These are my new go-to shorts for summer. The cotton material is breathable and feels great—you barely notice you're wearing them. I love the classic look and the practical design; the loose fit allows for maximum comfort and movement. All of the multi-pockets are sturdy and well-sewn, making them perfect for camping, fishing, or just relaxing. They hold up perfectly in the wash. Excellent value, fit, and utility
