On Thursday, June 28, 2001, at the Dominicans Institute for the Arts Conference in Elkins Park, PA, the Fra Angelico Award for excellence in the arts was awarded posthumously to Kathleen Harkins, OP of Adrian and Mary Peter Tremonte, OP of Houston. The awards were accepted by representatives of their congregations.
Kathleen Harkins, OP was a woman nationally known for her one-woman shows of Catherine of Siena, Julian of Norwich, Trudy the Bag Lady, and many more. Her preaching of the word of God through story was a joy. A former vice chairperson of the board of DIA, Kathleen felt the DIA was part of her legacy.
Mary Peter Tremonte, OP was a sculptor and liturgical designer whose work is found in over 60 churches throughout the country. Founder of the Dominican Institute of the Fine Arts in Florence, Mary Peter included in her works over 22 life size or larger than life size sculptures, stained glass, 12 large bas reliefs in bronze or marble, and other works too numerous to mention. |
