Thanks to Tony Perez for Artistic Guidance

January 18, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Putting a face on those who helped Brainard’s Mag­i­cal Years: Tony Perez (Play­wright, Nov­el­ist, & Painter) gave artis­tic guid­ance to Cecil­ia Brainard when she was work­ing on the sketch­es for Mag­i­cal Years: Mem­o­ries & Sketch­es. He taught her what pen­cils, pen and ink, paper to use; he cri­tiqued her work all along.

Cecil­ia Brainard first met Tony Perez in the 1990s when the USIS spon­sored a lec­ture tour for her in the Philip­pines. Tony Perez was work­ing at the Amer­i­can Embassy at the time. Aside from his embassy stint, Tony Perez has taught at the Ate­neo de Mani­la Uni­ver­si­ty; he is a painter, play­wright, and nov­el­ist. He has a blog at https://tonyperezphilippines.blogspot.com/

Cecil­ia Brainard thanks Tony Perez for his help in the mak­ing of Mag­i­cal Years: Mem­o­ries & Sketch­es (https://palh-books.blogspot.com/p/magical-years-memories-sk…) .

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.
