MEET THE MARIAN ART EXHIBITION TEAM!
Mariella Zevallos is the Founder and Director of Exhibit of the Marian Art Exhibitions at Star of the Sea Parish. She has been developing this initiative for the past 5 years, with the purpose to foster devotion to Virgin Mary and to promote religious artistic creativity specially in young children. These exhibits feature Marian artwork of the student body of the Stella Maris Academy (Star of the Sea parochial school), as well as of local sacred art artists who are invited to submit Marian artwork.
Mariella presented the First Marian Art Exhibition in May 2022, featuring the Stella Maris Academy children’s art made in class as part of their art curriculum program. She worked in collaboration with the school Art teacher, now former SMA Art teacher, Mrs. Jacqueline Jacobi who also worked with the children and collaborated for the Second Marian Art Exhibition in May 2023. This year we are presenting the Third Annual Marian Art Exhibition in May 2024. We are featuring the art work of 61 Stella Maris Academy students, made under the leadership of Mrs. Marilyn Bridon, who is the current Art teacher at Stella Maris Academy. 10 local artists will be showing their work too.

RESOURCES
Her Face: Images of the Virgin Mary in Art portrays the life of the mother of Christ with nearly 100 full-page, color reproductions of the Virgin’s face as depicted by the world’s greatest artists from the twelfth century to the present. These compelling images are accompanied by selections from early to modern sacred and secular texts. Viewed together in this unique pictorial narrative, the life-sized portraits of Mary illuminate her dual nature as virgin and mother, mortal woman and immortal Queen of Heaven with a rare vitality, immediacy, and intensity that other collections lack.

The story about the Walk to Mary…
The Walk to Mary has become a pilgrimage like no other in the world. Thousands of people join this walk yearly in the state of Wisconsin. They start with St. Joseph (at the National Shrine of St. Joseph) and walk to Mary (at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, Wisconsin) to get to Jesus. This annual pilgrimage has impacted lives and filled hearts with many blessings from the Holy Family.
America’s only Church-approved Marian apparition site, where in 1859, the Blessed Mother appeared to Adele Brise on the site of our Lady of Champion, Wisconsin. https://championshrine.org
