She Sells Sanctuary

05/16/2026

This Marian shrine was created 5 years ago and has been the centerpiece of my display at many art events. She was just waiting for the right person to come along and fall in love with her! What’s not to love? I almost didn’t bring her because I thought, “maybe I keep this one…I do love it!” Not so! What keeps me creating new work like this is the moment I realize I made it for someone specific who will cherish it and pray with it and display it reverently in their home. My heart is full!

As Pope Benedict XVI once reminded artists, “Authentic beauty unlocks the yearning of the human heart, the profound desire to know, to love, to go towards the Other.” Come join us: Saturday, May 16th, Noon–8pm • Sunday, May 17th, Noon–5pm (Mass is at 11:15am on Sunday.)” Art‑A‑Whirl® is the nation’s largest art crawl. The St. Clement campus (901 24th Ave NE, Minneapolis) of Holy Cross is hosting 16 artists showcasing the sacred arts through painting, ceramics, jewelry, woodworking, and more.

Hello friends and followers….I haven’t posted in while but I have been busy creating new pieces in my studio. Not everything in this album has been loaded into my Square store, so if you’re interested in anything please message me for details and pricing.

My next in person event is May 15-17, 2026, where I will be one of 16 Catholic artists exhibiting their work at St. Clement’s Church for Art-A-Whirl weekend in NE Minneapolis. More details to come!
