Spiritual Canvas
Many Cumberland County residents know George Perez as a local artist who has showcased his artwork at events around the region. Or you may recall that Perez created a mural in downtown Vineland that honors our active service men and women as well as veterans.
One of his paintings was recently presented as a gift to Pope Francis, after Perez was commissioned to paint it through the efforts of a global anti-poverty group.
“To be able to illustrate the pope’s vision and tell a story about helping the poor,” said Perez, “to paint his cross and the story it tells from Scripture it was a spiritually rewarding experience. This was not just another job. Spirtually and physically, I was all in.”
