Poetry * Art * Music

Christine Valters Paintner has written two collections of poetry: Dreaming of Stones and The Wisdom of Wild Grace (both published by Paraclete Press).  Her poems have been featured in many print and online journals in Ireland, the UK, Canada, and the United States.

We worked with Galway filmmaker Luke Morgan to produce a series of poetry videos that bring to life some of Christine Valters Paintner’s poems

See our series of 26 icons commissioned from artist Marcy Hall which includes St. Benedict, St. Hildegard, St. Francis, and more. Available for purchase as high quality prints direct from the artist.

We collaborate with visual artists for different projects at Abbey of the Arts. Click the links to the right to see art by Kristin Noelle (Monk in the World series), David Hollington (saints and animals series), Alexi Francis (Sacred Time series), and Kreg Yingst (Mary series).

Abbey of the Arts has produced three albums with songs from a variety of musicians to celebrate the contemplative way. Each album has an accompanying DVD with dance and gesture prayers to embody the music created by Betsey Beckman.
