There is something about religious images that help us to keep our minds focused, that ease our tensions, that show us a new way to think. I think that is why I like to paint them so much. The painting of them is like a meditation...you completely forget yourself, and the image a gift given. Mary calls me and I reply use me... Each stroke a prayer, each finished piece an alter...What speaks to you, relieves your tensions...Who calls?
