Narrative: The desire to create this work, an interpretation of the “Dark Virgin” from south of the border, was fueled by the realization that devotion to the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe has reduced prejudice and united people from a variety of different traditions. This interpretation was created in New Mexico and is part of the artist’s “Albuquerque Series,” work inspired by the southwest. This work focuses on Our Lady’s unfailing loving kindness and her expression of compassion. Depicted with no traditional body haloes and a younger Juan Diego who holds roses, Our Lady is the ultimate Mother. Against the brilliant blue of the New Mexico sky She caresses the child’s face, standing over him in adoration and love. (This narrative is printed on the back of Note Cards. A copy is included with each plaque and photo.)
