ART SHOW AND MUSIC EVENT (March 29,2009) -From oil paintings to watercolors, landscapes to portraits, a love for art was in the air at the Hyatt Valencia as the Santa Clarita Creative Guild presented its annual benefit with the theme "Love is in the Air" held in the Grand Ballroom. The event showcased works from 35 local artists-most of whom are members of the Santa Clarita Artists Association and whose colorful works of art were displayed throughout the spacious ballroom. It is the goal of SCV Creative Guild as well as the SC Artist's Association, to promote local artists and encourage more interest in art in the community.
GROUP ART SHOW I was one of those local artist who participated at this recent art show. Artists of all ages were involved in showcasing their works, with a special area in the room designated as the Youth Art Exhibit. There were lots of entertainment like serenade songs, jazzy music, appetizers and silent auction.

2009 PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD FIRST PLACE WINNER Oh my.......I couldn't believe it! This was my day! It was meant to be. Prior to this event, my husband's father passed way. I almost cancelled my participation to the art show because of the death in the family. Since the funeral was moved to a later date (April 4th), I decided to go on with the art show. I thought the art show would be a good escape for me and my family during this grieving period. Little did I know that this would be a memorable and exciting time for me. I am truly grateful to God for helping me made the right decision. Other wise I would have missed the award, blessing, and fun waiting for me.
MY GOLDEN SUNSET MOMENT (MARCH 29,2009)
Alicia Dukov, a reporter from SIGNAL (local newspaper) interviewed me and published a photo a week later. This was my response to her after winning the award...." I am delighted that I could contribute to the awareness and appreciation of art in this beautiful community. I hope to continue passing on positive feelings to others through what I paint. Art makes me alive and if I am not painting, I am not really living."

2009 is indeed an exciting year for philippine art. left and right there are show, artists are so active and there are a lot of really excellent young blood coming from the art schools. you would be quite thrilled to see what's happening in your country of birth as far as art in concerned. :-)
cheers!! and am soooo happy for the leaps that you have achieved with your work. :-)
forever art, forever applauding,
palma tayona
