The Sunshine Place recently showcased the works of its art students in Flow, an exhibit highlighting the beauty of accepting grace in starting over, peace in pausing, and growth in going with the flow.

This also marks the fifth year of its Coloring Lives initiatives for its members.

The exhibit brings together the works of 30 artists in four (4) of the Sunshine Place’s art classes.

Ma. Elena Fernandez’s Flamenco

These include works from the Acrylic and oil painting classes of Art Association of the Philippines President Fidel Sarmiento; the Porcelain painting class of Mee Lee Casey, a Malaysian expat wife, who has been teaching Porcelain Painting in UK, Hong Kong and Australia for more than 20 years; and Ikebana Sogetsu arrangements with Marc Tomas.

Maria Helena “Ella” Bernardo’s Summer Bloom

Ongoing until November 15, it features 86 artworks in acrylic, oil, porcelain and Ikebana-Sogetsu including the works of Sunshine Place’s newest young artists Isla Le Brun, Maria Helena Bernardo, Rafael Tomas Tanglao, Stephen Rey Destura and Amanda Atayde who are exhibiting their works for the very first time.

Ma. Victoria “Vicky” Zubiri’s Happiness

The Sunshine Place offers art classes to seniors, as well as adults, teens and kids. At the core of the workshops, are mentoring sessions in hands-on techniques, application of different brushes & basic strokes, and color rendering.

Ikebana-Sogetsu works for Sunshine Place’s Coloring Lives Exhibit.

Participants get to explore different styles in creating landscape, seascape, still life and portrait paintings. Just contact mobile number (0917) 515-5656 to enroll Sunshine Place’s art class.

Rafael Tomas Tanglao, also with Loida “Laiyan” Balubayan’s acrylic class with his artworks, “Bloom and Blossom.” Growing up, he had to overcome development challenges, which resulted in speech delays, yet this did not prevent him from showing his love, joy, and all the powerful emotions he has through his paintings.

The Flow exhibit will be available for viewing in Sunshine Place and online at https://www.sunshineplaceph.com/coloring-lives-online-exhibit. Proceeds will be given to Kanlungan Ni Maria Home for the Aged.

The Sunshine Place, a senior recreation center under the Felicidad Tan Sy Foundation, is a venue for adults to live actively, through engaging in recreational classes and age-appropriate physical training programs.

Isla Le Brun’s Les Fleurs (The Flowers)

It is the venue to be entertained, to socialize and to reflect; a place of happiness and wellness for one’s mind, body and soul.
