As a transcendent force, art embodies the finest qualities of human experience, facilitating introspection and connections among people from diverse backgrounds. St. Paul’s Cathedral is honoured to announce Catherine Morrisey’s appointment as the inaugural Artist in Residence for 2025-2026. This residency offers Catherine the opportunity to create works showcasing the beauty of London, its surroundings, and the cathedral’s community, reimagining the church through her artistic vision. The residency will also enable Catherine to engage the downtown neighbourhood in the cathedral’s soon-to-be renovated space, leveraging art as a means of spiritual exploration and expression. Catherine will undoubtedly utilize this residency to inspire, encourage, and teach others, fostering an appreciation for art-making. St. Paul’s Cathedral is confident that her residency will build community and help explore possibilities that may come with being London’s Creative Sector Hub and, at the same time, help discern how St. Paul’s might establish the cathedral as a cultural centre for music, visual art, and literature.
