Beyond The Barrelman
Exhibition of Filipino Art

Sharon DeLaCruz, "MOON GODDESS"
fiber Art, has been selected by the jury
for the 2008 Beyond The Barrelman exhibition.

The response to this year’s exhibition
has been overwhelming—in both quality
and quantity. Fifty-three artists submitted
168 pieces for consideration.
Each work was diligently reviewed by
our five jury panelists, and they had to
make some difficult decisions.

In the end, only 65 pieces were selected
by the jury for a month-long exhibition
at the Mercury Café Gallery.

White on black requires
an opague ink to sit on the
surface of the fabric, otherwise

absorbing into the fabric fibers.

heat setting is required.
Put item into a heat dry cycle or
iron for 10 minutes.

< For most, living overseas is
an exciting, enlightening experience,
but it can also be fraught with danger,
and living a traditional American life
in the middle of a foreign country
can be a bit odd. Returning to the
United States can be a severe
culture shock, as well, because
these children no longer have the
same perspective as their peers do.>

Ethnic and diverse cultural races meet

< I like your spirit. The children really,
really need to see success--in your face,
and people who resemble their face. >

This man knows everything there is to know about the safety and the construction of cement structures and related materials.

[Quote-Richard M. Valentino 5/06/2006]
Sharon, only you and Shakespeare can turn a tragedy into a comedy and
educate the public with humor and the understanding of LOVE!
A unique personality
shared a new form of laughter
with her audience,
appearing in a Chicago local talent show
at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Her story began as she re-enacts an infant
being put to nap in her crib,
watching the door close,
she imagined she was being left to die.

These ideas were created for small or big spaces or apartment/home or offices, interchangeable sections to keep up with the change of seasons.

Scrolled Flower designs are especially appropriate to enlargments for huge mural sizes that will soften the concrete/marbled surfaces, harsh acoustics, and accent the building lines of vast spaces of corporate buildings.

Transform your space with taste.

Sharon DeLaCruz

Since the artist's Fall down quilt of 2002, her colleagues and friends were aware of Sharon's struggle with recovery to regain the use of her hands and arms. They were inspired to ingenuously create and erect this unique tri-pod display to help her endure any strong winds that might otherwise blow down.

Her quilts up to this point were proudly exhibiting unfinished, loose threads bearing the mark of an accident victim that might not ever have use of her arms and hands ever again. Her dreams fell short, of completion.
