This year’s Christmas image is “Holy Family” by queer Episcopalian Amy Waltz-Reasonover. She paints androgynous parents with their dark-skinned baby beneath the Christmas star, affirming the holiness of all families, including LGBTQ families. The figures can be identified as Jesus, Mary and Joseph, but her title states that this is not necessarily “the” Holy Family, but simply a holy family.
In addition to being an artist, Waltz-Reasonover describes herself as deaf, musician, writer, mom, spouse, and human rights advocate living outside Houston, Texas. She provides prayer in American Sign Language through the St. Gallaudet Episcopal Deaf Prayer Group on Facebook. _____________________________________________________________________________
