Very remarcable woman. In general,woman who decide to dedicate their life to others and what they believe in deserve our utmost respect. Some years ago I had the honour to meet a "retired"nun. She had been living amongst the indians in the jungle of Brasil.Many times she ignored her own safety by riding on her old moped for miles- also at night- through the jungle to help women in labor. I also have great respect for mother Teresa.Women like that really understand the meaning of LOVE as our creator meant but unfortunately I cannot find that in most religions and churches. How much I do like the serenety and philosophical aspect of monastaries and convents on one side,there will always be that other side for me as well and that,s the institution of the cathlic church.

Nun... A Reincarnated Painter?
She was born in South Africa and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland. She became a nun in 1946 in the order of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. She was sent to England to begin her novitiate and studied at St Anne's College at Oxford, where she was awarded a Congratulatory First. Outside of her academic studies, she lived in a convent that maintained a strict code of silence.
