We had a whole bunch of new SmARTy Dog puppies joining the pack last month, and TotalBank became one of our newest sponsors.
As you know Pinecrest has been busily getting puppies sponsored so we can beautify the Village. We have a long list of artists who have come forth to offer their talent and creativity to paint the dogs and beautify Pinecrest. In addition we want to welcome visitors to Pinecrest as well.
The best part is that at the end of the program we will auction the puppies off to new homes and 100 percent of the money goes to buy Smartboards for the Pinecrest public schools.
So walk around Pinecrest, enjoy our puppies and decide who you would like to take home!
TOTALBANK SPONSORS A SMARTY DOG
At the age of 12, Cuban-born artist Mano came to the United States with his older brother as part of Operation Pedro Pan. For the next five years he lived in Westfield, NJ with family friends until he was reunited with his parents.
Although Mano graduated as an electrical engineer and successfully practiced his profession for more than 20 years, he always felt the need to express himself artistically and beyond the design concepts of engineering. Mano has now traded components and electronics for a new career in art.
He is a self-taught artist who has developed a unique expressionist-style dominated by faces and the female form. Usually his faces are merely a point of departure for Mano to explore the interplay of contrasting colors on a myriad of surfaces. When asked what inspires him, Mano says “Everything! People, music, nature — all lead me on journeys through the imagination where images converge and forms and color captivate me. Observation of the mind’s creation allows me to assimilate and recreate, in my own style, the shades of color and images of form”.
