Praise for Mag­i­cal Years: Mem­o­ries & Sketches
 
“ ‘Mag­ic’ is the key word in the art of Cecil­ia Manguer­ra Brainard. Every draw­ing trans­ports you to a dif­fer­ent world and a dif­fer­ent time, and you can­not ever come back unchanged.” ~ Tony Perez, Play­wright, Nov­el­ist, & Painter
 
“Draw­ings are often ignored as being mere steps to paint­ing, but with Cecil­ia Brainard you take them on their own — as visu­al notes, win­dows to mem­o­ry and his­to­ry.” ~ Ambeth R. Ocam­po, Historian

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
