Art as a Spiritual Practice: Sr. Julie’s Vision for Peace
Honoring Sr. Julie’s Legacy at the Peace and Spirituality Center
Sr. Julie’s work is a living testament to the values of the Peace & Spirituality Center: promoting peace, fostering interfaith dialogue, and celebrating the sacredness of creation. Her deep love for nature and the Indigenous peoples she has served shines through in every piece of art, reminding us of our shared responsibility to care for one another and for the earth.
Sr. Julie views art as a form of spiritual practice—a way to engage with the sacredness of life and to share her experiences with others. Whether working in watercolor, pastel, or Sumi painting, her pieces reflect the beauty of the world as she sees it, through a lens of peace, hope, and justice. Each brushstroke is a prayer, and each piece tells a story of connection—with the earth, with God, and with one another. At the Peace & Spirituality Center, we are honored to feature her work as a reflection of our shared mission: to cultivate peace through creativity, dialogue, and engagement with the world around us.
