Church of the Good Shepherd: Artist in Residence
 

This position was funded by the rector's sabbatical grant to complement the work of an interim rector. Parishioners of all ages took part in regular open studio activities, evening and all-day creative events and a community mandala quilt project. Over 100 people of all ages created more than 128 mandalas. Many people made more than one, opting to take one or more home, some created on paper instead of the fabric squares. Through the efforts of some sewing angel parishioners, the finished mandalas were quilted into two large hangings that were used during the services on Epiphany Sunday. Two stoles were also made using mandalas and presented to The Reverend Dr. Gale Davis Morris and Sabbatical Priest Reverend Albert Daviou to commemorate this special time of growth and renewal in the life of the parish.

I continue to return periodically to design and facilitate activities that conducive to spiritual openness and reflection for adults of all artistic levels.
