My condolences to Mariann’s family, friends and brothers and sisters in Christ.
Having recently picked up one of Marianns works of Iconography, I was struck by the interesting style of Mixed media she had chosen to create her piece. A colourful traditional Icon of the Crucifixion, overlaid on a sombre black and white interior cathedral photo with highlights shining through..all set on a stunning Small orange red door frame. This inspired me to google the artist.. which has found me here, reading Marianns obituary. I have met Mariann before.. She was beautiful and full of Spirit. and I’m not sure but I think she is one of a couple of woman who introduced me to the Catechesis Of The Good Shepherd, and the Contemplative exploratory learning play/work using concrete items of beauty and utility, biblically based which was introduced to me and young students as part of a visit to a religion class in one of my practicum schools. Having read this reminded me of the desire to become further involved in learning more about it, the creation and maintenance of similar children’s Atriums. A brilliant but simply natural concept in the development of Faith.
I feel that Marianns beautiful work of Holy Art was divinely given to me in a timely fashion. It will be hung, and admired, to act as a reminder of a worthy path to explore In the education of students.
