SISTER CORITA KENT. May the sun shine brightly upon you. Another sweet watercolor. She battled cancer for twelve years and left us in 1986 at the age of 67. Far too young to go.

SISTER CORITA KENT. Another watercolor. The inscription reads, "We carry within us the wonders we seek without us."

SISTER CORITA KENT. This is one of my favorites of the week. I love that the focus is on women, probably Mother Mary in the middle.

Corita often used quotes from people she admired in her work. She used ground-breaking techniques in the art of screen-printing as she developed her personal portfolio.

I love her choices in color, and the messages are always centered on love. It's a shame that Cardinal McIntyre did not appreciate the scope of people her art was reaching. #sistercoritakent #coritakent #popart #love #neighbor #color

Eventually, Sister Corita returned to secular life in 1968 after Cardinal McIntyre said in interviews that her art was "communist" and "blasphemous." She moved to the East Coast and began to work independently.

VIDEO BONUS** This week we will be looking at the art of Sister Corita Kent. This is a very short (2 minutes or less) video from a 1982 interview on WGBH. I think this gives you a good picture of the woman. #sistercoritakent #coritakent #popart

I took inspiration from 1960's poster art! They are both in progress but on display while I'm working on them. I'm immersed in protest and resistance art rn. I'm a big fan of #SisterCoritaKent 's work. She was my beloved Aunt's mentor.
