about ivy

Ivy M. Lim is a Filipino visual artist whose creative journey spans advertising, corporate innovation, and fine arts. A graduate of the University of Santo Tomas with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Advertising, Ivy first made her mark as a leading art director in advertising agencies such as McCann Erickson and J. Romero & Associates. Her creative path then evolved into the corporate arena, where she held key leadership roles at San Miguel Corporation—rising from Graphic Designer to Marketing Manager for the Packaging Division. During this time, she earned international acclaim with a World Packaging Design Award in the Netherlands—considered the Oscars of the packaging world.

Despite her professional achievements, Ivy never lost sight of her first love: painting. After years devoted to family and career, she has returned to the canvas with renewed energy and vision. Her work today spans contemporary and abstract styles, often drawing from travel, culture, and the human spirit. Her pieces are vibrant, textured, and emotionally resonant—each one a narrative shaped by life’s many layers.

Ivy is also a firm believer in giving back. Many of her exhibitions are aligned with charitable causes, from supporting children's welfare to funding medical care for the underprivileged. Through “Gallery Ivy,” her official platform, she continues to share her art with heart—transforming passion into purpose.

Today, Ivy is a full-time artist working on both personal and commissioned pieces. Her practice is a celebration of resilience, reinvention, and the enduring joy of artistic freedom.
