Emily Marcelo’s one-woman show

MANILA, Philippines -  Aside from dishing out pieces of advice to the lovesick and the lovelorn in her Sunday column in Inquirer, my friend Emily Marcelo (photo) also occupies her time by painting (sample above).

Last Jan. 5, Emily opened her fourth one-woman exhibit at Chef Jessie’s Rockwell Club, good until Feb. 5.

An environmentalist, Emily has genuine passion for the ethical treatment of our natural resources that extends to her leisure pursuits as well. The prevailing theme in her paintings is the quiet splendor of nature-sweeping, elegant, colorful and uplifting to the spirit.
