Another religious motive from my late mother Gunvor, and her ceramic collection.
This one is a sculpture of a nun lifting up a child somewhere in the world, my mother was herself very active in the local Red Cross.
I live in Sweden and write for a living, as a journalist and writer. In this blog I talk about my mother Gunvor's work as an artist, my travel around the world and a lot more.

Praying
My mother Gunvor did -as I told you before - some religious work during her active years. Now she is gone but I always will remember her - like this - thru her work.
This is a nun praying, a really wounderful piece, carved in wood that she found here in the countryside where she used to live.
And this is another carved piece of wood, I see it like the face of Christ. This one is not completed, it had to be refined, but I like it as it is really.

Some religious art from Gunvor
You seem to like the stuff my mother has made thru the years, she was a really amazing artist. Here is som more of her stuff, some religious work.
Here you have a statue of Bridget of Sweden, heliga Birgitta as we call her here. She was a saint and founder of the Bridgettines nuns and monks.

My mother made som nativity scenes too, here is one that I love very much, the women on the scene.
And here is a nun, made of ceramics. My mother's work is now in some churches and other public places here in the country side, utside Uppsala.
And here is even more lovely ladies, sitting on a bench chatting.
Outside the grotto...
Here you have an older post of my mum's work:
