Sunshine Place formally launched its annual art exhibit titled “Coloring Lives IV” virtually last Oct. 16. The launch was streamed live via Facebook.
The exhibit showcases the works of students in two regular art classes at the Sunshine Place: those in the acrylic painting class of Arts Association of the Philippines President Fidel Sarmiento, and those in the Porcelain Painting class of Mee Lee Casey.
Casey is a Malaysian expat wife, who has been teaching Porcelain Painting in UK, Hong Kong and Australia for more than 20 years.

Porcelain painting works of Vicky Ortega-Pollisco and Tess Colayco are also showcased including works of watercolorist and calligrapher Beth Robles of Playcrafts PH.
This year’s annual exhibit includes works of Memoir Writing students—Dina Lucenario, Carminda Regala, Victoria Lopez, Susie Yap, Winnie Samson, Consuelo “Neny” Regino, Len Fernandez, Chit Mijares–Chua, Mariquit Reventar, and Linda Atayde— taught by Dr. Oscar Peñaranda, a Gawad Pambansang Alagad ni Balagtas Awardee
Proceeds of this year’s Coloring Lives exhibit will benefit the Kanlungan ni Maria Home for the Aged, a home to poor, abandoned, neglected, homeless and sick elderly in Antipolo. The residents of Kanlungan ni Maria have no immediate family and relatives to look after them. The Coloring Lives exhibit in Oct. 2019 also benefited a home for the elderly, the San Lorenzo Ruiz Home for the Elderly in Pasay City.
The exhibit runs online at www.sunshineplaceph.com/coloring-lives-online-exhibit and at the 2nd floor of Sunshine Place: Senior Recreation Center until Nov. 16.
