Sister Corita


During my latest thrift shop prowl I found this wonderful bronze-like nun.  She is the sweetest thing, I named her Sister Maria Corita.


Sister Corita was enormously popular in the 70's, she painted brightly-colored prints.  Approaching Boston, one of her paintings can be seen on a large white gas tank.



When my sons were growing up we loved Sister Corita so much we named our Siamese cat Sister Corita. She was a vital part of our family for 17 years.


This is why I was thrilled to find Sister Corita today at my thrift shop.  She has come full-circle.
