Peggy (Margaret) Adams Parker is a long-time adjunct instructor at Virginia Theological Seminary and a sculptor and printmaker whose works often deal with religious and social justice themes. Her sculpture MARY is installed at the Cathedral College and other churches around the country and Reconciliation, on the parable of the prodigal son, was commissioned by Duke Divinity School. Her woodcuts accompany Ellen Davis’ translation, Who Are You, My Daughter? Reading Ruth through Image and Text; her suite of 15 woodcuts, WOMEN, is owned by the Library of Congress; and her woodcut, African Exodus, is the frontispiece to the UNHCR publication, Refugee Children. Parker’s life-sized Communion of Saints is etched on glass panels at St. Agnes Catholic Church, Shepherdstown, WV, and her etched glass images of Harriet Tubman and Absalom Jones were recently installed at St Paul’s, Rock Creek. She has served this year as Artist in Residence at Wesley Theological Seminary. margaretadamsparker
