“Schapker, whose studio is in a renovated 140-year-old building in Over-the-Rhine, is a 1992 graduate of Xavier University’s art program. Her painting and research have taken her around the world, and her work can be found at universities, churches, schools, and in numerous corporate and private collections. She has been painting representational art of Catholic icons for more than ten years and has a special devotion to the Blessed Mother. Schapker was commissioned to paint a series of paintings for Xavier University in 2011, and her painting of Pope Francis’ mother was presented to the pontiff at the Vatican in 2011.” (quoted in the Catholic Telegraph).
