Thanks so much for this link, and for the ‘follow’ on Twitter. I REALLY love your work! (I’m @pilgrim4j1 on Twitter, Dona Gondwe)
Hi Ally – I’m a friend of a friend who suggested I look at your fantastic artworks because I was looking for an artistic depiction of the Magnificat as a visual for a virtual choir video I’m putting together. I love your work and I’ve found just what I need – it will be credited, of course!
That’s great to know! I love hearing about it when my pictures find new uses 🙂
Thank you so much for these images! I am a bulletin editor for my parish, and I love being able to use art portraying people of color! Besides ancient icons, it can be hard to find non-white-European images that are free to use. I am bookmarking your blog 🙂 Thanks again.
I’m so glad that you’ve found these images helpful – please do carry on helping yourself and using them in any way that supports your ministry! 🙂
Lovely work on here, Ally : )
