Minerva Teichert captured the essence of her faith and the beauty of this earth with remarkable style and simplicity. Her paintings grace the halls of museums and chapels throughout the Church. But her artwork gives us only a glimpse of the artist herself. And Minerva Teichert was more than an artist. She was a wife, a mother, and a woman of great faith. In Minerva! The Story of an Artist with a Mission, author Elaine Cannon gives readers a rare glimpse of the real Minerva Teichert. Written in the first person, as if Minerva were telling the story herself, this book takes a journey through the mind of a vivacious artist, a woman who said the Spirit impelled her to paint. By using Minerva's own words, phrases, and expressions throughout the book, the author brings to life Minerva's desires, heartaches, adventures, and thoughts. "Minerva was a noble human being in whom the elements were well placed," Elaine Cannon writes. "She was attractive, intelligent, strong willed, aware, generous, unselfish, and had a rich faith in God. Minerva was worth knowing." This delightful book will allow readers to know Minerva the artist. But more than that, it will inspire those who want to know Minerva the woman.
