Veronica Laurel's blank book collection with carved wooden covers is one of the unique works among hundreds of artworks available at the National Art Fair held at the SM Megamall Megatrade halls 1 & 2 on September 26 to 28.
Her  wooden carved book collection for this event has eclectic designs that were created during the period of her stay in Buddhist temples in the Philippines and Taiwan. Other designs include the portrait of a serene Buddha on the cover and lotus flowers. The paper she used is very smooth and has  a velvety surface that is also friendly with fountain pens.

Her works can be found in the Kasibulan Booth, a group of women's artists that also has different artworks on sale such as paintings, sculpture, literary works like books, and others.
Kasibulan will also be relaunching Baidy Mendoza's book "Labrador" at the center stage on the 27th of September, hosted by writer Bebang Sy.
