Our Lady of Guadalupe Gallery Wrapped Canvas

More About This Artistic Reproduction of the Original Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe

In my desire to become a better artist for Our Lord I turned to Mother Mary’s intercession.

As a teen I kept a magazine cut-out of an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in my prayer corner. As I prayerfully contemplated the picture of the artwork of Our Lady I found my self drawn to a more profound realization of Mother Mary’s presence. And yet with each glance I also became more aware of the aged, protruding seams of the garment, the water stains from the 1629 flood, and the overall soiled look that built up over the centuries before it was placed behind glass.

Inside my heart I felt driven to make a reproduction that would “clean it up” (if only a little) without altering the way it look originally in anyway. I so longed to see more clearly the way Our Lady originally painted it.
