When Clarisse Vaz's college-going son passed away most unexpectedly, the mother of two and wife of Brian Vaz (of Sonarbhat) took to drawing -- with no training, as she repeatedly notes. She has done some interesting works, which can be seen on the Net here:

She says: "Though these paintings, I'd like to highlight the role of Mel D'Souza rather accurate illustrations of Saligao. His love for his native village is immense." She recreated some of his humorous sketches -- including one which depicts villagers through their surnames, and another which shows them celebrating the village feast in cities across the globe. Clarisse feels the paintings capture the times and conjure up memories of people living here. Clarissa's contacts: [email protected] 9527 528285.
