Corita Kent was a nun who created vibrant screenprints that reflected her spirituality, commitment to social justice, and hope for peace. She often used popular culture like song lyrics and advertisements in her artwork. As the head of the art department at her convent, she taught screenprinting techniques until leaving the church in 1968 to focus on her art full-time. Her work provided an outlet for her activism and appreciation for the world, using the accessible medium of silkscreen printing like her vows of humility and poverty advocated.
