Sacred Architecture

A Collection by Ruby Annette

President of the Fredericksburg Art Guild

For decades, my travels across more than thirty countries have led me again and again to the world’s most extraordinary sacred architecture – cathedrals, churches, mosques, and temples whose soaring architecture design reflects humanity’s enduring desire to reach toward the heavens.  Whether standing before the golden glow of the Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Spain, the majestic dome of the Berlin Cathedral in Germany, or the vibrant colors of St. Basil’s Cathedral in Russia, I have always felt the same sense of awe:  a quiet, powerful reminder of the beauty that faith – of every kind – brings into our lives.

This collection captures that universal spiritual wonder through my signature Pointillism technique.  Thousands of individual dots of paint form each shimmering façade, each bursting sunrise, each garden of surrounding greenery.  Every dot of paint becomes a prayer and every hue, a reflection of faith.
