Stations of the Cross, which allow the devout to make a spiritual pilgrimage and contemplation of the Passion of Christ, can be found throughout the world. During the Triduum, it seems fitting to highlight the artwork of Sister Anne Pierre Limoges depicting the fourteen stations. These beautiful, yet simple, pieces are rendered in a minimalistic line art style in ink on artist board.
Stations of the Cross by Kim WestermanAbout Sister Anne Pierre Limoges
Sister Anne Pierre entered the novitiate in St. Paul on September 3, 1931, and she professed final vows on August 15, 1937. Not only was she an artist, but a musician as well, having earned her bachelor’s degree in music and art, and then went on to earn a master’s of fine arts in art while she was missioned in Hawaii from 1953-1964.
While in Hawaii, she studied art with the French-born American artist Jean Charlot, who was a teacher at the University of Hawaii. Sister Anne Pierre taught piano and art at Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet schools in Minnesota and Hawaii.
Sister Anne Pierre Limoges passed away in 1993.
These pieces of art can be found in the Hawaii collection in the Carondelet Consolidated Archives in St. Louis.
Very insightful and touching. Keep up the good work.
