I met Patricia Ariel recently online when she left a comment at one of my previous Sacred Artist Interviews. I went to her website link and discovered her beautiful artwork.
I love the sensuality and vibrancy of her images which enter the viewer into the mythical realm. I found myself exploring their inner landscape in my [...]

She has even co-authored a book called Lapis and Gold, on reclaiming the original tools and methods of medieval artists. We have only [...]

On her website it says that Shiloh has been [...]

I loved her vibrant images on her website, especially the mandalas she has created and the way she integrates Buddhist and Hindu symbolism into her work. She teaches art and creativity workshops down in the Florida [...]

When one of my readers suggested Mary Kolb for the Sacred Artist Interview series I thought it might be fun to explore an “artist of the inner life” instead of my usual focus on visual artists, poets, and musicians. I love that phrase, after all, are we not all invited to co-create the architecture of our inner [...]

Her website Contemplative Art is filled with her luminous watercolors and purchase of her beautiful cards and prints goes to support Student Open Circles.
I always feel [...]

I was connected to Josie Rodriguez’s wonderful work through Laurie Mika (see Laurie’s interview here). I adore encaustic and I always feel a kinship with people doing the extraordinarily meaningful work of chaplaincy, especially hospice work. Ever since I walked with my own mother through the last few days of her life I have been [...]

Mary Lou Weaver is an artist, a spiritual director, a retreat leader, and the caretaker along with her husband of Herrbrook Farm, a retreat center and farmstead in Lancaster, PA. I love their tagline: “an arbor for homecoming, hospitality, and art spirit.” Makes me long for retreat just gazing at their photos.
All of the artists [...]
