"One of my goals as an artist working with sacred imagery is to contribute visual images that people can find themselves in worldwide.  I hoped to create an image of Mary that a variety of Asian people would find loving and appropriate to them.  I feel the essence of God, which comes through Mary and Jesus, is what we all long for and hope to feel.  I continue to try to celebrate all of us with our differences.  The pink lilies are the Blessed Mother's symbol (among others) and she holds a white dove, the Holy Spirit."
