Keeping us mindful of God’s abiding presence

FROM OUR STUDIO:

Our work has been selected to be part of the exhibition
Seeing God: A Juried Exhibit of Sacred Art. The exhibition will be up during February at the Benedictine Retreat Center on the campus of St. Paul’s Monastery, St. Paul, Minnesota. We are honored to be part of this art show as the Benedictine community works to sustain and expand the spiritual imagination and deepen a sense of awe. From their call for artists, “Over the centuries, Benedictines have encouraged women and men who use color, form, sound, and word to express the beauty one experiences in the encounter with God’s own creativity. Their "sacred art" contributes to keeping us mindful of God’s abiding presence. This exhibit features contemporary artists who work in that spirit.”

The spirit of artistic creation

FROM OUR STUDIO:

Join us at Ghost Ranch for our workshop
Heaven of the Heart: Creating a Space for Sacred Imagination June 25–July 1. Ghost Ranch is situated on 21,000 acres located in northern New Mexico, stands proud as an ecumenical and interfaith education and retreat center of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). For more than half a century people have come for spiritual development, to discuss issues of peace and justice, to work together in creation care, to paint and write, to hike and ride horseback,
to research rich and globally renowned archeological and fossil quarries, to see where Georgia O’Keeffe painted or simply to rest and renew their spirits. For more about our workshop or to register click on Heaven of the Heart. Hope to see you.
