Ellen Priest, an esteemed abstract painter and former licensed Presbyterian minister, showcases her exploration of the textures and rhythms of jazz music in her artwork. In her talk, she takes us behind the scenes of her creative process and reveals the theological and spiritual dimensions of her paintings.
Ellen Priest's journey includes her training for the ministry at Yale Divinity School, where she completed a dual-focus program in Christianity and the Visual Arts. Her acclaimed artwork has been exhibited at venues such as Saint Peter's Church in New York City, The Delaware Contemporary in Wilmington, Del., and the Phillip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania.
