During the next two months I'll be presenting new artworks from the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection by Nicaraguan Artist Jose Ignacio Fletes Cruz, whose biblical illustrations will be featured in the traveling exhibition, The Bible in Nicaraguan Primitivista Art, which I hope to launch in the near future.  Fletes Cruz's naif style of Primitivista image-making is associated with a…

Whatever their point-of-view on the current Middle East crisis, no one should remain indifferent to the images of starving children coming out of the Gaza Strip--whether they be five or five thousand. The suffering of these innocent victims of war should prick the conscience of the world and prompt people of goodwill to alleviate the humanitarian crisis. Roman Catholic…

The image of the Virgin Mary cradling the body of the crucified Jesus known as Pieta (“pity” in Italian) is a sacred art motif transcending ethnic, religious, political, social, and cultural boundaries. You would have to have a heart of stone not to feel empathy and compassion for a mother mourning the death of her only son—especially when he…

The debate this past year over "illegal aliens" has become so contentious and defamatory it dictated the theme for my images from the Sacred Art Pilgrim Colletion for the Advent and Christmas seasons: the Flight into Egypt. How you interprete this tragic postlude to the story of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem largely depends on where you see…
