Description:
Mary holds the Christ Child, veiled and watchful. A shadow beneath one eye suggests the sorrow to come. Even in this early tenderness, her motherhood is marked by prophecy.
Inspiration:
Motherhood, the lived experience of caring for a brain-injured child, and devotion to Our Lady draw Sarah repeatedly to the subject of Mother and Child.
