The Chicago Filipino American Hall of Fame recently honored Tinley Park artist Sherie Sloane as Young Achiever in Visual Arts. The recognition came during a gala event held at the Regency Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Downtown Chicago last November 11.
The Chicago Philippine-American Hall of Fame is a joint effort of the 17-year old Chicago Philippine Reports TV (CPRTV) and the 24-year old VIA Times News Chicago. Now on its 13th year, the Hall of Fame highlights the best in the Filipinos and Filipino Americans who have excelled and achieved significantly in their lives. The annual event is recognized as the largest professional gathering of Asian-Americans in the United States, attended by the most prominent personalities.
This year's line up of awardees came from all over the United States as far as the Philippines. They were selected for excelling in their fields of professions, service to the Filipino and Asian mainstream communities, outstanding contributions, and for projecting a positive image and contributing to the betterment of the community worldwide.
Sherie was nominated for her achievements and contributions in the field of Visual Arts. She is known for her vibrant works, both in art and in writing. She has received awards and honors for her art, and had successful art exhibitions. Her articles and poems have been featured in major publications in print and online.
Her watercolor 'Young Love' won Honorable Mention in the 2006 Himme Productions National Juried Art Competition. She is the only Filipino artist accepted to exhibit at the Prairie Winds Art Center’s 7th Annual Juried Miniature Art Show in New England, and the only artist to win three Top State Awards in the recent PaintAmerica National Juried Art Contest.
As a way of giving back to the community, she founded the Kids Art for Peace, a worldwide online organization of young artists advocating peace through inspirational art. She also established the first Philippine Watercolor Society to help promote Philippine arts and fellow artists, and now working on a series of paintings for the benefit of orphans in the Philippines.
"I dedicate this to all the Filipino artists around the world who are persevering to uplift the local art industry despite unstable economic and social conditions. They are the ones who deserve this recognition the most." Sherie said during the October 29th Chicago TV interview. "My husband has been my constant source of inspiration and encouragement, I share this honor to my families and friends. God has been enormously gracious indeed. There are still lots of work to be done, Filipino artists need help." she added.
Four of her award winning paintings were displayed during the hall of fame induction ceremonies. Sherie’s artworks can be viewed online at www.sheriesloane.com .
