Filipino Pride Day 2011

Happy to be back from the Philippines after 3 weeks there, and make it on time for the Filipino Pride Day here in Jacksonville, Florida :) Six of my pictures I took from Sinulog in Cebu City earlier this year were displayed at the art exhibit. It was pretty neat to see my artwork being showcased, and people actually stopping by to look at the pictures :) I had other things going on that day including a photo session in the afternoon, so sadly, I couldn't stay long and catch the cultural dance shows and the flash mob dance. There's always next year, and I hope you will check it out also!

September Art Walk - Jacksonville FL Photographer

I have to admit that I was very nervous showcasing my artwork for the Jacksonville's Monthly Art Walk in Downtown area. It was my first time ever submitting work, and I wasn't sure what the standards were...duh, of course, it's art so there shouldn't be any standards! ;) Angel Dendam organized the whole exhibit showcasing the local Filipino artists in town, and she really did a great job on putting the event together. Our artwork will also be showcased at the Filipino Pride Day at Jacksonville Landing on Sept. 25th--so go and check it out if you missed the Art Walk last week :) Besides, there will be lots of lumpia! ;)

I didn't get to stay long at the Art Walk because I already had another function to attend. I'm also going to miss the Filipino Pride Day event on the 25th due to a wedding we have, so again, please go if you can and tell me all about it :) As always, thank you so much for your love and support of my artwork!

XOXO

I love textures, compositions, lines, and architectures :) I went ahead and used the pictures I took when Bobby and I were in Sweden earlier this year for Erika and David's wedding.
