Artist Spotlight: Mary Frances Judge — A Life Illuminated by Color and Spirit
Mary Frances Judge, an Ursuline nun and visionary artist continues to illuminate the path between spirit and form. From the radiant works of Spiritual Light, now housed in the Museum of Friends Permanent Collection, to her current Subway Series on view in Jersey City, Judge explores transformation, longing, and artistic devotion in vivid color. Her journey invites us to pause, reflect, and witness art as a sacred expression of inner life.
