So how does your art connect with your life as a sister of St. Benedict?

I think that's part of it.

I do a better job of everything else when I have this creative outlet, a different part of the brain.

It does help make me a better person.

And it's an extension of my appreciating all the gifts God gives us.

So, yeah, it's something I need to do to keep myself sane.

and contributing to the community.

So if someone wanted to start doing art, what would you recommend of how they can start?
