Icons of Mary Visit Our Modern World
Whether you are a religious person, an art lover or neither, it might be a mystery to you why Mary is a necessary component in traditional Christian religion. Not specifically wanting to get into a religious argument, historically Mary is depicted in art portraying a significant role. Whether you believe Mary signifies the church, our love for God, wisdom, love, purity, knowledge, or none of these, it is important for us to learn, grow as human beings, and expand our knowledge. One of my reactions to viewing icons is to question myself: Why? Who?
Mary Jane Miller, an American artist residing in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico is exhibiting “The Mary Series,” icon paintings. Opening Friday, August 7th. www.wadewilsonart.com from 6 to 8 PM at Wade Wilson Fine Art, 4411 Montrose Blvd. The Mary Series exhibition will be up through August 29th, 2009. Read more
