A 12-year-old schoolgirl from the city of Burnaby in British Columbia is building a name as an emerging artist.
Julianna Francheska Retita has been cited for her work in a number of Canadian and international art competitions.
In August this year, the Philippine-born Retita held her first art exhibit at the Trout Lake Community Centre in Vancouver.
