Description
Inspired by a beautiful statue of the Madonna, “Our Lady of the Yucatan,” located in the Cathedral of San Idelfonso in Merida, Mexico. Emanating a healing energy – clothed in gold, white veil streaming to her feet, crowned and with a sun disc behind her, she stands on the earth with angels at her feet – I drew her, photographed her, sat with her often. Upon returning home to the U.S. and my studio, my painting – Our Lady of Heaven and Earth – flowed out onto canvas.
