Inest Sua Gratia Parvis (Even little things have their peculiar grace) This watercolor series of 15 works are a lighthearted tribute to the preponderance of the small in earthly matters. The artist renders in loving detail the diminutive inanimate forms that clutter her everyday life, singing their praises in close attention to their nicks and bruises and worn edges - testimony to a life well lived and loved albeit mostly on a living room shelf or behind glass in a bedroom cabinet. Whereas The Good Luck Things deals mostly with Mindanao, Philippines' ethnic artifacts, this show's "little things" are of a more personal nature, mementos of a sentimental past.
