FILIPINO ARTIST INSPIRES

A child paints using coffee powder mixed with water during an art session by Filipino artist Sunshine Plata in Pasig city. Plata started painting with coffee in 2000, and her works have been exhibited locally and in the Ripley's Museum in New York City. Her paintings sell for $895. This is such a unique and wonderful story. I had not heard of painting by using coffee powder but as you can see in the above picture, it really is beautiful. This Filipino artist should be spotlighted in larger circles. She commands a very respectable price for her work. Mabuhay!!
