In Joseph’s Care Mary and Christ Child

In Joseph’s Care Mary and Christ Child  20″x20″x1.5″ on cradle board.

Joseph gently holding the newborn Christ while Mary rests against his shoulder, peaceful and protected. It honors Joseph’s quiet strength and tender devotion as he cares for both mother and child on that holy night.

I believe when the subject matter is a person, my role as an artist-is a storyteller. Mixed media is the perfect vehicle. The story began with a portrait and then, piece by piece it evolves with layers of  texture, mono prints, fabrics, and embellishments.
