Thank you so much for introducing me to the work and life of Roberto Cardinali. His journey is fascinating and so brave and true to his art. I’m blown away by his productivity and determination, his reinvention and abilities. Wonderful!

A fascinating interview. And I love that quote about the Abbot: "He said the Catholic Church has all the art that it needs from the Renaissance."

I still have a great admiration and gratitude for Abbot Leonard. If he had let me study art, I wouldn't have met my wife and had our two wonderful sons. Our oldest, Christopher is an artist in Brooklyn. ChristopherCardinale.com. PS Christopher was my religious name in the Benedictine order.
