What do you do when you're away from your love? Send a love letter of course. We're sharing our love letters to our favorite works of art from the Memorial Art Gallery, and bringing them directly to you.

Jess Marten, the curator in charge and curator of American art at the Memorial Art Gallery shares her thoughts on Judith Schaechter's "Three Tiered Cosmos," a piece from the exhibit she helped to organize, "The Path to Paradise: Judith Schaechter's Stained Glass Art."

With deep respect for history, a provocative rebelliousness, and a feminist sensibility, Judith Schaechter has aptly been called a “post-punk stained-glass sorceress.” Her stained-glass panels are mouth-watering seductions, alternative visions of beauty, and radical statements of female experience.

Schaechter says about her work: “The ultimate motivator for me is the euphoric feeling of having “nailed it” by doing justice to some preposterously breathtaking inspiration. That is the most ecstatic euphoria I have ever experienced.”
