Inspired by favorite literary and spiritual quotes—including reflections on courage, perseverance, hope, and gratitude—Hawthorne’s paintings are guided by what brings joy and meaning to everyday life. Her work encourages viewers to pause, reflect, and celebrate what is true, good, and uplifting. 

The exhibition also proudly features artwork by Holy Angels resident artists: Mike, Chris, Amy, Didi, Maria, and Cheryl.

Holy Angels established Bliss Gallery to offer persons who are differently able the opportunity to share their creative abilities and showcase their art alongside the works of guest artists during special exhibitions.

Join us for A Celebration of Joy. All are welcome.
