Show Notes
In the Christian traditions sacred images depicting Christ, the Virgin Mary, the Saints and biblical scenes are considered windows to the divine. And you can imagine how powerful these images must have been when artists in small villages used local people as their models for Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Understanding the transformative impact this kind of divine art can have on a small rural community isn’t just an intellectual exercise. You can experience it today by visiting the Willits Center for the Arts and viewing the current show there featuring artist Sue Ellen Parkinson.
