Wendy Hope Solling b. 1926

Also known as Sister Angela
  • Artist (Sculptor)
Sculptor, nun and Anglican priest. Sister Angela's sculptural practice was informed by her religion, her sense of the sacredness of the land and her contemplations on light, space and the materials of her art. In 1975 she began to oversee the construction of a monastery at Stroud, NSW, which was finally dedicated in 1997.
