BIO: AYLA PIDAL

I was born on June 22nd [Cancer sign/Rooster in Chinese Zodiac] in Olongapo, Philippines. I have two sisters & enjoys the kind of enchanted childhood you usually only read about.
 * PERSONAL HISTORY:

My Mom joined the US Navy when I was 14 years old. The family had move to various places where she is assigned to like Hawaii, Korea, Italy & Japan and finally settled in Silverdale,WA until she retired.

Olympic College [BS Math program] Lake Washington College [Certificate in Aerospace Design] I love flying, I love heights,I hope to build my small plane in this lifespan. Art Institute of Seattle/BS Degree Industrial Design Major in Product and Environmental Studies Summer 2010
 * EDUCATION:

My daughter- Elizabeth she's 19 yrs old, beautiful & brilliantly precocious & my son- Ezrael, he is 10 yrs old, will be will 7th grader this school year. I can't express what it means to me to feel like I'm living for something so much greater than myself. The only reason I made this far & there is not a day that passes in which I am not overwhelmed by how lucky I am to have them. they are everything to me & that's the truth. Oh yes, my Jack Russel- Razberi, a super hyper dog & a very softee cat- Bluberi. They are fun to watch, very entertaining to see their wrestling match everyday!
 * FAMILY:

I was lucky to work for Boeing as a Designer Drafter for 5 years. It was a wonderful job but I felt the technicality of the job became stagnant, too plain I shall say & I moved on. I studied in AIS, after I received my Associates, I went to work for Nordstrom.com. To be honest I feel enormously successful & lucky to be able to say that this company has been my career since then, my full time job that the company has been able to provide enough work for me that I don't need to look for work elsewhere

Here are few experiences I've had over the years. This is not a list of prestigious accomplishments. They are experiences that are meaningful to me.

There are many more for a period of 10 years...

Now what? Oh yes... Celebrated Y2k in Paris Learning Flying Para-sail/Air Glide/Skydive Scuba Diving Spending time with my kids & family Enjoying life, Travel, Music & Art

After Spring 2010- I will be searching for a new venue, new venture, something more exciting fresh & meaningful in the field of Industrial Design focus more in Environmental Design.


 * self evaluation**********************************************************

This class was extremely important to me! Through our discussions and lectures, my thinking developed immensly.

I have gained a lot. My old skills are most definitely improved. I greatly appreciated the public artwork field trip that was assigned to us at the beginning, Seeing those pieces of artwork gave me an inspiration to continue and keep going and focus on my artwork. Sometimes being caught up in this busy world, I tend to loose inspiration and feel emptiness. my vocabulary had grown and become sounder.

I like the part of the class where we watch and evaluate different artist from the past, new and young generation. Seeing these helps me understand and perhaps found the fit and meaning applied to our present time.

The works that was showed to us via PowerPoint lecture, the field trips we have visited, seeing public sculptures areound us are truly inspirational!

These are our past reflections of lilfe, our ghost, our shadow, and most definitely a path that would lead us to understand how we get here today!
