The Virgin Annunciate
Larger-than-life-size marble at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church in Potomac, Maryland.

Our Lady of Mercy commissioned Sarah to create the Virgin Annunciate and St. Joseph the Carpenter for their new sanctuary. She had already sculpted the fourteen Stations of the Cross in bas-relief collaboratively with another sculptor for the parish. While the clay sculptures were articulated in her Maryland studio, the plaster casts were sent to marble carving studios to be copied, per Renaissance tradition. She subcontracted with a carver who had worked at the Washington National Cathedral for the sculpture of the Virgin Mary.
