Book Launched in October, 2008

Come Into My World! and Entra a Mi Mundo made their debut at the 2008 Dallas International Book Fair on October 24 and 25, 2008, where international, national and local authors were available to read and sign their books.  While Annabel attended the Dallas International Book Fair, Lina busily promoted their books on the airwaves with host Fernando Ramirez on “K-Pasa Southeast Tejas.”  Lina’s interview was broadcast worldwide in Spanish on www.lagrand1450.com and throughout Southeast Texas on La Gran D 1450 AM. 

Community Outreach in 2008

One of Lina’s original art creations was exhibited at The Banque Loft Building in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to benefit The Cradle Project.  The Cradle Project is a fundraising art installation and auction designed to raise financial support for the Firelight Foundation.  The Firelight Foundation’s mission is to support and advocate for the needs of the estimated 48 million children who have been orphaned by disease and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa.  Lina’s creation, a cradle made from scraps of fabric, was one of hundreds of cradles and cribs made by artists worldwide. 

Awards in 2008

In February 2008, one of Lina’s original art creations was selected as one of the top five winners in the Dr Pepper Sabrosura Art Contest!  Hispanic artists were asked to submit an original creation that best captured the essence of being Hispanic.  Professional judges selected 23 semifinalists from numerous entries from around the United States.  The top five winners were chosen by eligible voters in an on-line Internet judging contest.  Lina’s award-winning painting was one of five works of art exhibited in 23 cities throughout the United States.
