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.
