Each painting serves as a simple sign from daily life and records Ariadne’s communication of prayer. The artworks tells stories and meditations about learning on how to handle the hard things with joy: Courage above financial insecurities; the largesse of a new baby; stillness in the city under martial law; longing for home; dignity in suffering; delight in romance and recovery; the measured rage of temptations; beauty in pattern; and the path of worship.
