Maria Angela Feliz Cabrera Sumadsad is a 19-year-old old soul whose true love is for art, music, and poetry. She is fascinated with the old, melancholic, and emotionally expressive. She is a proud Filipina with a big heart for people, culture, and adventure. She wishes to share her works with others in hopes of touching hearts.

She says, “My art wishes to express a story of grief over being left lone by a love. ‘The Machinist’s Daughter’ depicts how we eventually move on from broken hearts by finding joy in the company of ourselves and our own hobbies.”
