Upon invitation, Artist Reena Ahluwalia donated ‘Pristine’, her Canadian diamond painting, a star raffle prize at the event, raising funds to benefit the CJA. The painting is valued at US$ 5000.

Ahluwalia’s ‘Pristine’ diamond painting was won by Negin Tadayyon of C.D. Barcados Co. Ltd. “I make art to add joy to people lives and when art can serve, it’s one of the most gratifying feelings”, says Reena Ahluwalia.
