"Our Lady of Victory"

    This time of year, amongst other things and happenings in the particularly tumultuous current affairs of the world today, inspired me to do a study of a statue that is now in front of my old high school.  Being that statues of war generals and the like have necessarily been a controversial subject of late in the United States and elsewhere, my attention was drawn to reflect on the statue now in front of the school I attended.  The statue as stated on the gold plated plaque in front of it is called "Our Lady of Victory".  I'm not sure when the statue was installed there, sometime between the 1980's & 2020 I guess since it was not there when I attended the academy.

My favorite feature in the sculpture of the divine feminine is the cosmic element of the Christ child standing on top of a ball of stars.

I was attracted to the statue subject after thinking about creating some artwork to donate to my high school's annual fundraiser auction as promised to my fellow Ursuline Academy of Cincinnati 1985 classmate who is chairing this year's UA Ultimate Auction.

    I am a 'self-taught' artist who can hardly remember a day when I wasn't in the process of creating something... Thanks for visiting my site where I can share some of my work.
