In
1987, G. E. Mullan was privileged to create a work
entitled San Antonio deYanaguana presented to Pope John
Paul II as an official gift of the bishops of Texas on
the occasion of the Papal Visit to San Antonio in
September of that year. In February 2000, he was invited
to participate in the Jubilee for Artists at the
Vatican. G. E. Mullan’s religious works reveal his
effective adaptation of such diverse artistic traditions
as the imagery of the Roman Catacombs, the illuminated
manuscripts of Western Europe, the Santos tradition of
Mexico and the American Southwest, as well as the icons
and mosaics of the Byzantine world. With a formal
education in both art and theology, the artist is able

Christian imagery and symbols and to reinterpret this
heritage with his unique contemporary style. G. E.
Mullan lives with his wife, Celina, in San Antonio,
Texas, where he maintains his studio
