LAURIE BETH ZUCKERMAN'S GARDEN SANCTUARY FOR MADONNAS AND ANGEL STATUARY

Laurie Beth Zuckerman's old headless Madonna rests against the old sandstone fireplace


Laurie Beth Zuckerman's cherished collection of old Madonna and Angel statuary add a sense of spirituality to her backyard sanctuary in Fort Collins, Colorado. Two are headless and defaced, but all of them are beautiful to me. I find them so soothing to live with! The time of year, the weather, and the blooming plants in our water-wise xeriscape garden change the mood of these statues daily.

    Perfect in newness or perfected with age, she is powerful.

    for years i have come to take in the beauty of your shrines. roadside, long forgotten, resurrected, lost and found harbingers of spirituality. to have this personal glimpse into your own sanctuary is a deeply touching experience. so much beauty surrounds you, permeates you, emanates through you.
    thank you for your spiritual paradise and this rare chance to see what fills your eyes on a daily basis.
