Holly
Schapker
prolific American artist whose work is displayed for veneration internationally and throughout the Midwest region
"The creative process is never ending for me and it always includes prayer. I try to observe and learn as I breathe and my paintings depict my quest for holiness, truth, and beauty."

PRAYING AT THE EASEL
"I always find myself at a stage in the creative process where I cannot see the resolution. In this moment, the work is lifted up in relinquishment for God’s glory and I’m eventually given eyes to see how the painting is to manifest. Each piece is a gift. Therefore, I sign my works with my initials only; giving credit where credit belongs. “HS” stands for the Holy Spirit."
UNIVERSAL MOTHER
Twenty Marian paintings by Holly Schapker show Mary in diverse times and settings. They are accompanied by personal reflections from the artist and art historian Cecelia Dorger with questions to help readers delve into their own experiences and reactions to the art and the theme of each painting.
