1996-2000 Elders of the Benedictines
Having greatly enjoyed the first elders project, I undertook a second this time focusing
on elders of Benedictine monastic communities throughout the United States. Leaders
of monasteries nominated members and I traveled to 30 communities nation-wide, spending
one to two days interviewing and photographing the elders. The 30” X 30” paintings
and interviews were then developed at my studio. The interviews focus on the moral
and spiritual aspects of the elder’s lives. Their responses gave wise and compassionate
counsel for people of any faith.
