Wisdom and the Arts

A Ministry of Artistic Creation Guided by the Spirit

This year, we will be featuring how Wisdom is visible through the arts by showcasing the sisters’ creations. In the form of poems, crafts, photography, painting, cooking, and more, we’ll be sharing visual representations of how Wisdom has influenced their lives. Keep an eye out here and on our socials for updates and inspiring artwork in its many forms!

“She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”

Proverbs 3:18

Take time for the tree

Take time for the tree is a collaborative work by Sisters Eileen Berton, Barbara O’Dea, and Rosemarie Greco, produced in a Haiku writing workshop in Litchfield, CT, in 1992. In this piece, Sr. Barbara O’Dea provides vocals to the music composed and played on piano by Sr. Rosemarie Greco, set to the Haiku by Sr. Eileen Berton. The artwork, "The Birth of Wisdom," by Danielle Mailer, was created in 2009 for the Wisdom House Retreat and Conference Center in Litchfield, CT, as a Christmas card.
