Medallion by Donna Young

A limited edition medallion designed by Donna Young '82, owner and lead sculptor of Isabel Bloom, features Saint Ambrose of Milan holding a book and Christ the King Chapel. Only 300 are available and all are signed by the artist. Cost for each medallion is $200, with all proceeds benefitting the Academy. They are available for purchase in the St. Ambrose University Bookstore. Donna created a very Ambrosian Ambrose for us. The image is based on the V century mosaic of the ceil d'oro chapel in Milan. The font used is the Trajan font, made famous by SAU's Fr. Ed Catich (under whom Donna studied). The chapel in his hand--a very common image in religious iconography--is our own Christ the King chapel. The bees are our mascot, the mitre and crozier show us that Ambrose was a bishop.
