The Rosebud of Life, by Marie Rizzi

"Stairway to Heaven"

From an original by Laura Diehm

2012

Marie Rizzi is part of the Saint Leo Abbey oblate program and wrote this beautiful poem in 2014.

Artist Laura Diehm's website,  www.lauradiehm.com, has some of her other works of art and poetry. From her website, "In addition to creating commissioned works, I feel teaching is as rewarding as creating. My choice of mediums are primarily oils, but also acrylics, pastels and charcoals specializing in portraiture with some art delving into narrative expressionism."


Both Marie and Laura live in the Tampa Bay Area.
