Kate Haggerty Wilson answered the “all to artists by Pope John Paul II, which was to employ Art’s power to both celebrate God’s glory and to create works that uplift and invite connection with one another.

Her mixed media works are “prayer doodles.” These works’ bring play, prayer, collaboration with scripture, and other forms of the Arts to create a work connected to both Zentangle doodling and illuminated manuscripts. Wilson shares her process, “I approach my painting as I do my  prayer, and add a few drops of Holy water to my palette as I begin my work.”

Besides using traditional materials of watercolor paint and sometimes gold-leaf, Wilson up-cycles other materials to, as Wilson explains, “to cross reference and align our prayerful life with our day to day interests and passions, and give the glory to God in everything.”
