•I recently viewed your incredible art at the Museum of International Folk Art and had to wish you many Felicidades on your inclusion in (and survival of) the CyberArte exhibit.--Martina C. Holguin (09/01/01)

•Just for kicks, check out the very last section in the book of Proverbs. These verses describe the epitome of Jewish womanhood as "girt with strength." Not exactly Mary meek and mild. The woman described gets things done. Think Mary at the Wedding of Cana prompting her son to DO something.--Stacey Raab (09/06/01)

•I would like to ask however why "Our Lady" is portrayed with her head up, and not down, seeing how she is a woman of humility. --Catherine Butler (09/10/01)

•I also do images of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and when I started my doctorate this year I knew that I somehow wanted to talk to other artists like myself who have been influeneced by sacred images, particularly Our Lady, and find out exactly what it is in the relationship with the image that has affected them and their work.--Sally Gradle (09/18/01)

•What an outstanding image of Our Lady of Guadalupe!--Peter C. Skye, Lexington, KY (09/24/01)

•I understand why people would regard this image as heresy.  But if Our Lady of Guadalupe is indeed a living presence among the communion of saints and not just an idol, she must be accorded her sacred right to appear to and inspire artists to bring her to life ever new.--Peter C. Skye, Lexington, KY (09/24/01)

•Local media coverage of the Our Lady controversy did more to fan the flames of local discontent than it did to shed light on the underlying issues and problems, a cross section of community members told The New Mexican at a recent roundtable discussion. --S.F. New Mexican article sent by Gloria Nieto (09/24/01)
