Because simplicity is a hallmark of religious life, Sister Karlyn's artwork stands out as a real witness to a need for simplicity for all people. The Gospel value of "living simply" is a call, not only for those in religious life, but for everyone. In a world that is so caught up in the hustle-and-bustle of daily life, a walk through Sister Karlyn's Art Studio is a refreshing breath of air. Many have commented that the studio itself is a place where peace can be found. Her artwork is in demand and she is constantly being sought out to do special works. In true Salvatorian spirit, Sister Karlyn has developed her unique gifts and talents and uses those to the best of her ability in her ministry as an artist. Her works have brought joy and beauty to many of the community's houses, and her skills give prayerful witness to God who has blessed us all with many gifts. Sister Karlyn also helps in the formation of Sisters in temporary vows. |
Sister
Karlyn Cauley, SDS, has brought her unique
gift of art to her ministry as a Salvatorian
Sister. Following in the "Shaker Tradition"
of art, her works have brought people back
to an awareness of the need for simplicity
in their lives. However, while appearing simple
at first glance, the intricacies of the details
in the paintings are evident on closer inspection,
thus revealing the true talents of an artist
like Sister Karlyn.
