Feature Friday: LSU Art Exhibit 2014

Feature Friday highlights businesses, people, fashion, and basically anything under the sun!

With G2B trending every night, it seems like everybody is inspired to become Chichay!  Even I myself is enthralled into arts again and so aching to put my hands on a brush and a palette.  But time constrained me to do so but thanks to the Culture and Arts Office of La Salle University-Ozamiz for having their art exhibit last February 26, 2014.  With the theme “Arts on the Edge:  Arts for Healing.  Arts for All.”, I was greatly amazed by the talent our artist students showed.  With this, my painting dream had at least been fed!  So here are a few of my faves! 🙂

The paintings that were showcased look like being done by pros!  I may not be an artist but I can say that these paintings are excellent!  I stood there mesmerized by the display of colors, emotions, and ideas.  Especially the painting entitled Set Free.  I lingered over it and returned into it over and over again.  Oh, how I wished I could bring it home!  But the paintings were unfortunately not for sale.

So let me just say congratulations to all our artist students and LSU Culture and Arts Office for a job superbly done!  Keep on painting and may you have a bigger exhibit and hopefully an auction in the near future! 🙂

Written by Mae Olandesca

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions. Determined to break free from her "chemical engineer" title in the Philippines, she embarked on a brave journey to Toronto, fitting her life in only two suitcases. Despite completing her Chemical Laboratory Technician program at Seneca Polytechnic just recently, she realized that the chemical world failed to ignite her heart. A momentous realization led her to embrace her true calling as a writer, with a Creative Writing course acting as the catalyst for her long-time passion in wordsmithing. Thus emerged the extraordinary persona of Mae, the other side of her multifaceted identity.
