Description

A Shared Spark: Your Story, My Canvas

Step into the creative world of contemporary artist and educator Susan Villanueva-de Guzman, founder of CREÍA, for an intimate art and cultural-storytelling experience. 

Up to five guests will explore personal memories, identity, and heritage through expressive lines, colours, patterns, and meaningful symbols. Together, they will share their story that Susan will professionally develop, complete, and sign. 

The experience concludes with a private unveiling of the finished artwork, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. This is more than an art workshop, and it is an opportunity to transform a personal story into a lasting work of art while supporting brighter futures through The Sparkle Foundation.
