Meet Ann Burt, Retablo Artist

Retablos are paintings depicting various religious images that were very popular in the 17th, 18th and 19th century in Mexico and were brought over to the United States by Franciscan monks.

Here is an article where Ann was featured.  She is a very talented artist who's artistic gift directed her to return to her faith.

Jenny,
Ann's work is really beautiful, isn't it? This is a great idea. All of us bloggers in the Catholic Etsy Artists Guild should write about each other! :D

It takes a little while to get the swing of it, but before you know it, you'll be soldering everything. Have a wonderful weekend! Talk soon...S
