It has a special way of piercing our hearts in order to receive grace.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are the words of Holly Schapker, a Cincinnati artist who has been working closely with Fr. Thomas Flynn, LC, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/called-to-create-putting-the-divine-spark-at-the-service-of-the-church\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Called to Create<\/a>, an initiative established in the Ohio Valley area by artist and educator, Laura Kline, and designed to spiritually nurture Catholic artists and encourage them to use their creative gifts as a means of sharing God\u2019s truth and love through their artwork.<\/p>\n<p>One of the many offerings of the Called to Create apostolate is the annual artists\u2019 retreat, which provides the space for artists to create in a way that collaborates with the Holy Spirit while exploring a different spiritual theme each year. Last November, in response to 2021 being declared by Pope Francis The Year of St. Joseph, the Called to Create group decided to delve into what St. Joseph, who was a craftsman and artisan himself, could mean to them as artists. At the retreat, Holly shared the process that went into her creation of an oil painting of St. Joseph holding the child Jesus, while Fr. Thomas spoke on the theme of the fatherhood of St. Joseph, demonstrating to the participants the important and profound connection between art and theology.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, for Holly, her Catholic spirituality and the creative process are closely linked. \u201cMy paintings depict my quest for truth, goodness, and beauty. Before my easel, I may practise <em>lectio divina<\/em> meditation or a centering prayer;<\/p>\n<p>I intend to relinquish my personal control of the brush to God, which results in unexpected gifts that I humbly receive.\u201d During the November retreat, Holly and Fr. Thomas collaborated on prayers, meditations, and the overall structure of the weekend. Fr. Thomas created his own portrait of St. Joseph and Jesus along with the other artists, and upon Holly\u2019s request, allowed her to paint on his canvas. \u201cI enjoyed working with him, and in the process, we created a new friendship as well as a new piece of art!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was the Associates Degree in Fine Arts that he received during his time spent at the Legionary Novitiate in Cheshire, Connecticut that initially inspired in Fr. Thomas not only an interest and appreciation for art, but also a zeal to reach out to and collaborate with artists like Holly and the Called to Create group. \u201cI have always been very interested in the relationship between theology and art, and how my work as a theologian can help artists in the shaping of their work, and how it can help spread the faith,\u201d says Fr. Thomas who, along with ministering to local artists in the Ohio Valley, serves as the chaplain to the Women\u2019s Regnum Christi Section in the Greater Cincinnati area, the chaplain to the Consecrated Women, and the assistant chaplain to the Regnum Christi Men\u2019s Section.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gravissstudios.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Debbie Graviss<\/a>, a Kentucky artist who attended the St. Joseph retreat, shares the fruits from her own retreat experience: \u201cIt is so encouraging to be with other artists and share in the creative process together, and I found Fr. Thomas\u2019 presence and support, and especially his participation as an artist, a real comfort. I am convinced that the Holy Spirit is moving through art in and new and powerful way, and I\u2019m finding in my own professional art studio and practice that art is a gateway into healing and evangelization with people who would otherwise not step into a church.\u201dCalled to Create member, Karrie King, attended her first retreat in 2015, and has attended every retreat since then, including the virtual retreat held in the fall of 2020; the artist retreats provide a yearly spark for her artistic and spiritual progress and well-being. But for Karrie, and many other Called to Create members from Northwest Ohio who make the annual pilgrimage south to the retreat, once a year simply did not feel like enough. \u201cIt left us thirsting for more of the marriage of art and spirituality!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Together with her aunt, Lucille Smith, who has attended every Called to Create retreat since the first one held in 2014, Karrie decided to organize a monthly gathering, called \u201cPaint and Pray,\u201d with artists from her parish and the neighbouring parish. The group, which started with six individuals and has now grown to nearly 20, meets once a month to create art and pray the rosary together. And when even meeting once a month was not often enough, the group started gathering weekly for <em>plein-air<\/em> painting sessions (called \u201cVan Go\u201d) at local sites or a member\u2019s home, inviting people of all faiths to join them in praising God through the creation of art.<\/p>\n<p>The newest development that has stemmed from these art groups and, initially, the Called to Create retreats, is an art gallery that the group established at their church of Holy Trinity Parish in Assumption, Ohio. The group curates spiritual exhibits that are displayed in the St. Joseph Commons Gallery, and are changed every two to three months. Some of the exhibit themes include \u201cThe Many Faces of Jesus,\u201d \u201cAll Saints,\u201d \u201cMary Gardens: A Celebration of God\u2019s Creation,\u201d and \u201cBuilding God\u2019s Kingdom,\u201d which was a student project and parish photography exhibit that presented images of the church and the parish grounds. The gallery also features an exhibit entitled \u201cCalled to Create,\u201d where participants display the artwork they created while on the annual artists\u2019 retreat. The current exhibit on display, called \u201cBuilding God\u2019 Kingdom,\u201d features architecturally inspired artwork accompanied by related passages from Scripture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you can see, the Called to Create Catholic Artists\u2019 Retreat has inspired many additional art experiences for our local group of artists, and Laura Kline lit a fire when she started this series of retreats,\u201d says Karrie. \u201cMay all future Called to Create retreats continue to enkindle a fire in both the artists and those who are drawn closer to God through their art!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The theme for this year\u2019s upcoming retreat, to be held November 3-6, 2022, is \u201cAltogether Beautiful,\u201d inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.corproject.com\/collections\/books\/products\/god-is-beauty-a-retreat-on-the-gospel-art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a newly discovered retreat for artists<\/a> written by John Paul II in the<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/VideoCapture_20211108-022053-e1655926783849-300x191.jpg\" class=\"alignright wp-image-31216 size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-31216 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/VideoCapture_20211108-022053-e1655926783849-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\"><\/noscript> late 1960s.
