Mary Magdalene by Patti Ashley
It's always a surprise and a great joy when someone sends me a message or request to use my art or connect in some way. One very special person with whom I had the pleasure to connect thanks to Mary Magdalene is Patti Ashley. It's been a few years, but recently she participated in my Painting Mary Magdalene online course and today she will be participating in Blossoming art exhibition during the Mary Magdalene Celebration.
This artwork is part of the collective art exhibition dedicated to Mary Magdalene titled Blossoming, July 18-22 in El Barrio Art Space Art Gallery, with a reception on July 22, 2023, during The Mary Magdalene Celebration. This exhibition is possible thanks to La Casa de La Herencia Cultural Puertorriqueña, Inc.
