Mel Ahlborn:
Finding God Through Art
Mel Ahlborn was a successful aerospace engineer who gave it all up to become an artist. Since childhood she'd been attracted to religious art...especially the stained glass windows she saw at mass. But when she started drawing and lettering, in the style of ancient illustrated bibles, she found that her artwork was also bringing her closer to God. She discusses her transformation, and how hard it is now, to tell the difference between her work and her spirituality.
Guest: Mel Ahlborn, a contemporary Episcopal artist working in the ancient form of the illuminated manuscript. Her work combines classical iconic images with a modern perspective and sensibility.
