Most built within the past 40 years leave a lot to be desired aesthetically in my opinion. <br /><br />Here's a website for a truly Catholic artist. I only wish I could afford some of his works!<br /><br />http://www.danielmitsui.com/<br /><br />enjoy!<br /><br />The Jubilee Museum in Columbus has many Catholic treasures. If you ever visit Columbus, call ahead and arrange a tour. You won't regret it!<br /><br />http://www.jubileemuseum.org/Pattynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-55509073924240580662011-03-16T13:40:35.254-07:002011-03-16T13:40:35.254-07:00Well said!

Nearly every artist I know has a day job. We all would like to know how to get the public to buy ANY original art, let alone religious art. If you come up with an answer, I know there are thousands of artists out here who would like to hear it!<br /><br />Thanks for bringing the topic up to your readers--maybe they, at least, will think twice before buying a $10 knockoff at Marcs instead of going to one of the galleries downtown and supporting their own neighbors.<br /><br />a starving artistAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
