Blue Madonna Ornament by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Blue Madonna Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a breathtaking hand-painted glass ornament, crafted in the artist’s signature devotional style. The serene Madonna, adorned in soft blue and white tones, reflects the grace, humility, and divine compassion that are central themes in Moss’s sacred art.

What makes Blue Madonna Ornament extraordinary is its reverse hand-painting technique — each delicate brushstroke is applied inside the ornament, creating depth, luminosity, and a gentle glow that radiates outward through the glass. The result is a timeless work of faith and artistry, one that beautifully captures Moss’s gift for transforming sacred imagery into symbols of peace and hope.

Each numbered, limited edition ornament comes gift boxed, ready to hang on your Christmas tree with the included gold cord or display year-round as a meaningful reminder of faith and love.

Buckley Moss has often said that her depictions of the Madonna symbolize universal motherhood and divine love, making this ornament a meaningful addition to both religious and art collections.
