Yes, that’s Isabel’s work. Isabel Piczek is a certified genius; got a PhD in particle physics at age 13 1/2 (I kid you not). While she was at it, got her Masters from the Hungarian Art Institute at the same age.
She is, by profession, a “monumental artist” of significant renown. She’s very much at home 70’ up in the air, preparing Christian murals averaging 70’ x 40-50’ across.
As an aside......did her first mural at the Vatican at age 14.
She is the leading theoretical particle physicist on the planet today.....and one of the sweetest, nicest ladies you’d ever hope to meet. I just love ‘er to pieces.
We have a huge mural of the Risen Christ by her, everyone hates it and wants to get rid of it, which is impossible because it is done on the whole wall, or cover it up. I love it. I found a little info about her and the mural in the church files and printed them up and that helped but there was very little information.
Could you point me to some good links about her? I think the kind of information you have in your post would impress people a little and make them more comfortable with the mural.

Here’s a link to a post card picture of the mural, in real life there is more mauve and blue.
