6×8″ oil paint on primed canvas sheet; use ‘comment’ below to inquire.
One of the many titles of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, is “Spiritual Vessel” from the Litany of Loreto. I like to think of her as that hollow reed of God through which He breathed His music of grace for the world. (A thought gained from author Caryll Houselander.)
I am Sister Maresa Lilley, a member of the Sisters of Notre Dame, located in Chardon, Ohio, USA. For many years, I have enjoyed a passion that permits me to reflect upon simple reality with a brush in hand. To capture a simple essence on canvas and to discover inherent beauty is a daily immersion. While busy with teaching, or administration, or other various roles of my past, I found the quiet pursuit of pushing creamy oil paint into some kind of meaningful arrangement a soulful refreshment. I hope that through this blog, you also can enjoy a fresh look at grace and charm in the ordinary.
The Sisters of Notre Dame of Chardon, Ohio, belong to an international congregation of more than two thousand apostolic women religious. We are one in mind and one in heart for the transformation of the world in Christ.
