San Diego, fondly called Chinkay, Inkay and Inx. She just turned 12 last July 28 and marked it with her first solo painting exhibit titled "Larong Bata."<br /><br />The exhibit opened yesterday, August 16, and will run until September 13 (note: extended to October 14) at Likha Diwa sa Gulod Cafe, C.P. Garcia Avenue, UP Diliman (beside Bgy. Krus na Ligas).<br /><br />Maia has 25 acrylic on canvas paintings on display, with 19 for sale. Four have been sold at the opening, with three more snapped up soon after.<br /><br />More pics of her paintings can be seen at my <a href="http://www.manilamom.com/">Manila Mom</a> blog.<br /><br />The entire family is so proud of Inx. Like her siblings, she has found her own passion at a young age and is pursuing it with complete abandon. We are, of course, behind her a hundred percent.<br /><br />Do drop by Likha Diwa if you happen to be in the vicinity. They serve very good food and coffee which you can enjoy while surrounded by a 12 year old's playful art explorations.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4812455543517442137-6994297898242628844?l=maia-jose.blogspot.com'/></div>Mnoreply@blogger.com2
