In this episode of What’s Your LAYON?, Carmen sits down with her childhood friend, Cherie Altea, also known as Jar of Salt, an independent artist, storyteller, and five-year breast cancer survivor.

Cherie shares her journey from childhood doodles to solo shows in Manila and Singapore, the messy but magical path of becoming a professional artist, and how divorce, illness, and moving countries reshaped both her life and her art. She opens up about self-doubt, resilience, and finding joy in imperfection... and why her true LAYON is simply to live honestly and bring value through storytelling.

This is a powerful conversation about courage, creativity, and staying the course one sunrise at a time.
