SAGGIE exhibits at Statia Tourist Office

SAGGIE Spanner was born on Aruba on May 11 1953. His parents are the late Alfred and Peter-Ann Spanner.

At the tender age of 18, SAGGIE moved to Holland and remained there for 28 years. In 1996 he moved to Statia to live with his sister Lucia Spanner.

Since 2006 SAGGIE attends the Chapel Piece Health and Recreational Center on a daily basis where he spends most of his time drawing with pencils, crayons, markers or pens.

Most of SAGGIE'S drawings have a history that only SAGGIE can tell. They are about the most diverse topics, such as: a camel, a witch, Pinochio, a boat, a fish etc.

His compositions are easily recognized and are quite unique!

They are all original "SAGGIES".

The exhibition is meant to raise funds for the Chapel Piece Health and Recreational Center and the frames with drawings are sold for $25.00 each.

You can view the drawings from January 10-January 21 2011 at the Statia Tourist Office at Fort Oranje and the Gertrude Judson Library on Fort Oranjestraat

The exhibition is sponsored by SAGGIE Spanner and Olga Schats.
