Gifts of Sister Mother Earth represents the abundance
of life-sustaining beauty given us by God through our
Sister Mother Earth. It is the first of a series of
paintings making visible the words of St. Francis' in
Canticle of the Sun. St. Francis saw the elements of
our physical world as our own family, revealing the
Earth as the personification of the mother and sister
who give and sustain life, a revelation of the breadth
of the power of God.
