Foreword

ART IS A GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING

Healing the body is a science mastered after many years of study.

Healing of mind and soul is through art in its many forms – whether expressed or experienced.
 
The living portfolio of artwork by Dr. Orestes P. Monzon is a gift that keeps giving. It is nourishment for the soul.  Seeing and sharing beauty through his artwork gives added depth to daily existence.
 
Monzon blesses other artists through his site, AA Appreciating Art, with his support and encouragement.  He provides a venue for artists to show their talent.  He gives to the needy, raises awareness, and expresses beauty and meaning to the ordinary, elevating it to a higher plane. 
For us to see and enjoy.
 
Thank you to all the other artists he promotes and supports for the joy and inspiration he brings to Filipino artists through his artwork and service. 
They are genuinely creative, masterful, and beautiful.
