Arthur Poulin Cards

From Monastery to MasterpieceFather Arthur Poulin is the only monk in our family of card artists, and his work is as unique as his path. From his quiet studio at Incarnation Monastery in Berkeley, he creates luminous, layered landscapes that feel like a deep breath of fresh air. Each painting begins with up to 25 layers of hand-applied primer, then comes the color—thousands of impossibly tiny brushstrokes, placed with monk-like patience. Inspired by the Impressionists but unmistakably his own, his work is peaceful, precise, and full of quiet wonder. Sacred, stunning, and just a little bit miraculous.
