“Creating Sacred Spaces”

March 24, 2021 @ 11:00 am

Sister Gerardine
The Legend Herself, at 99 years.

Caldwell University is launching “The Year of Sister Gerardine,”
a yearlong celebration to honor Sister Gerardine Mueller, OP ’54,
Caldwell’s beloved artist-in-residence of more than fifty years, in
advance of her centennial birthday in September. A prolific and
deeply gifted artist, Sister Gerardine’s monumental body of work
features sculpture, stained glass, illumination and calligraphy,
wood carvings, and printmaking.
Among Sister’s exceptional achievements at Caldwell is her
leadership effort to establish the art department in 1964. Her
determination led Caldwell College for Women to offer the first
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in New Jersey, with the first diploma
awarded in 1976.
