A Colorful New Take on Sacred Art

Mattie Karr is a young artist who set out to do something different with sacred art. When her parish priest asked her for help creating new art for the church, she had a clear vision of what she wanted to do. Despite some initial hesitation from parishioners, Mattie found a powerful way to bring them into the creative process — and the art itself. The resulting murals elevated the beauty of the church and represented the community within it. Mattie shares, "This is definitely like a time capsule kind of a thing for our church. These are the faces of the people who are going to this church, who are part of this community in 2024, a ton of different ethnicities, a ton of different cultures. That's the life of our church. That is literally who's here. It's so beautiful to be able to reflect that in the paintings."
