CBPS ARTIST AWARDS AT 2025 FAIR

Three of our member artists won awards in the Fine Art Asian Brush category at the San Diego County Fair this year. Congratulations to all who entered, exhibited, and won special recognition. All paintings in the exhibit were stunning.  

In addition, two CBPS members, Carmen and Wendy, gave brush painting demonstrations to fairgoers who were fascinated by how each artist was able to create such beautiful paintings with a brush, ink, water colors, and simple brush strokes. 


First Place: Wendy Nakamura, for "Lotus Dream"
Second Place: Joanne Sullivan, for "One Hundred Flowers"
Honorable Mention: Laura Pasternack, for "Dragon Holding His Pearl"
