Hanna Cheriyan Varghese of Selangor, Malaysia, is the 2006–07 artist in residence at the Overseas Ministries Study Center in New Haven. Painting and drawing have been Varghese’s great passion for as long as she can remember. Of her art, the artist says, “Visual images reveal more of one’s mind than words.” Varghese currently dyes batik cloth pictures paints, mainly in acrylics. She says: “This is my way of witnessing for Christ for the gift I have been blessed with.” Her work has been showcased in China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South Korea, and the Philipines. A past recipient of grants from the China Christian Art Association and the Asian Christian Art Association, she also serves as coordinator of the Malaysian Christian Artists’ Fellowship.
The artist in residence program at the Overseas Ministries Study Center (www.OMSC.org) is made possible through a generous grant from the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia, First Fruit, and the Foundation for Theological Education in Southeast Asia. The exhibition is presented in partnership with the Overseas Ministries Study Center with support from Yale Divinity School.
