2024 Edition: Realizing Beauty - Floral Art by Donna Surprenant

Wall Calendar including Sundays, Feast Days and Memorials for Canada and the US

Donna Surprenant (1953-2009), a member of Madonna House whose paintings are featured in this calendar, strove to capture the perfection of flowers with her brush.

In a 1999 lecture on the Christian Vision of Culture she said,  “Art is a synthesis of the mind and soul, of technique and perception. ....it is about discipline and struggle, tusslling with limitations and inner visions that defy execution. As in the spiritual life, to embark on such a journey is to enter a battle, yet it is also about joy and the thrill of realizing beauty.”
