D.G. drove up to Santa Fe to sit down with Christine Valters Paintner, PhD. to talk art, beauty, contemplative photography and spiritual practice. Christine is an author, speaker, teacher of all things contemplative with a focus on the arts, and a Benedictine oblate, and the online Abbess for Abbey of the Arts to top it all off.

D.G. met up with her in Santa Fe, NM where she was leading classes in yoga, and doing contemplative photography workshops for a conference. She was so gracious to be able to meet on a rare spring snow filled Sunday afternoon.

If you enjoy photography, or any praxis that uses contemplative thoughts, you will find a new dear friend in Christine.

Christine, it was an honor to have your voice on the Praxis Podcast!

Here is the link to all of her books on Amazon.com. The book we focused on during the interview is, Eyes of the Heart: Photography as a Christian Contemplative Practice.
