Artwork: “Breath of Spring” by Arthur Poulin
FROM THE EDITOR
Suzanne Shanahan, Editor
We tried something a bit different in this issue of Virtues & Vocations: Higher Education for Human Flourishing. We decided to feature a range of work by a single artist, California based Fr. Arthur Poulin, a Benedictine monk and painter who focuses on landscapes. Fr. Poulin painstakingly layers color through thousands of tiny brushstrokes. This pointillist style, popularized by George Seurat, gives the pieces a lushly meditative quality. For Fr. Poulin, “The dot signifies the tiny seed that has the potential to grow and blossom into a great tree.”
