SACRED ART


Immaculate Heart of Mary
COMMISSIONED WORK
Oil on Panel
12 x 18 in
(2019)
This painting depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary showing us her immaculate heart for meditation and prayer. Like Mary, we are called to ponder the mysteries of Christ and unite our sufferings to his. Mary’s heart is pierced in union with her son’s. Here we see her heart represented in the traditional manner: aflame, pierced, and surrounded by roses. Our Mother is crowned with a halo of lilies which represent her supreme purity. Two seraphim are found on either side of her. They are inspired by eastern iconography, but are adapted to a realistic style. Their wings are those of blue jays. A traditional gold leaf mandorla creates a frame.
