About: In 2009, the hour-long documentary Meinrad Craighead: Praying with Images was produced by RCWMS and Minnow Media. Meinrad Craighead was a classically trained artist who pushed the boundaries of the mediums in which she worked and the confines of her Catholic heritage. She explored feminine faces of the Divine and the numinous gifts of the natural world, with particular attention to sacred trees and animals. Her art reflects her mystical experiences and her dream world in ways that invite us to examine our own inner lives and our connection with the Divine. For more please visit meinradcraighead.com.
