鈥淪piritu Sanctu,鈥� the name given to Mobile Bay in 1519 by Alonzo Pineda, means 鈥淗oly Spirit.鈥� Having been fortunate enough to grow up in Mobile, Devlin never lacked for aesthetic subject matter. Mobile Bay and its tributaries inspire much of his work, and he says he can only imagine the spiritual experience Alonzo had while naming and mapping the area nearly 500 years ago. 鈥淪piritu Sanctu鈥� expresses Devlin's enthusiasm about Mobile and our natural resource, Mobile Bay.
