Benito hails from Pakil, Laguna. She is a self-taught painter who first forayed into professional art in year 2007. She has participated in various local and international group shows and two one-woman exhibits, with the third one held last October at the Galerie Joaquin. Jovan Benito's Christmas-themed artwork graces Pan de Manila's paper bags and take-out boxes for the holidays. These are available in their branches outside shopping malls all over Metro Manila, Luzon, Cebu, and Iloilo. Her colorful taste in paints becomes a feminine rendered art into canvas and it attracts a family oriented eye that can feel happiness looking in her works.
