Edith Pfau

Sister Edith Pfau, S.P., (1915–2001) was an American painter, sculptor, and art educator known for her religious works and commissions.

Her main ministry as a Sister was teaching art and English in Indiana,[2] Illinois, Washington, D.C., California and Taiwan.

Beginning in 1944 she attended summer sessions at the Art Institute of Chicago with the intent of pursuing a master's degree, but was unable to complete the program due to her teaching responsibilities.

Pfau worked in a variety of media including oil, tempera, ceramics, polymer, wood and metal sculpture, silkscreen, and acrylic.

She earned a solo show of polymer painting and serigraphs during her doctorate studies at Ball State University in 1969.
