"My work as an artist in the folk art tradition," writes Sister Karlyn, " has been to paint originals in the delicate borders, the heart emblems, trees of life and scripted messages. The art serves a spiritual need today and informs the public of a highly decorative art produced by the Society of the Believers (Shakers) for a limited period." A visit to Pleasant Hill, Kentucky and the Shaker Museum located there, began Sister's interest in the art form of the Shakers. Several visits with the current members of the Shakers in Sabbathday Lake, Maine, have deepened her interest and inspired her to renew their art and other folk art forms through watercolors and scripted messages.
