“The basis of art is in truth, both in matter and in mode.” -Flannery O’Connor

My name is Lauren Sillman. I am a university student (studying English and History with some Latin and Cinema thrown in), a writer, an amateur artist, a curious fan of music and most of all a bride of Christ.

I’m currently studying in Ireland and doing my best to write my first novel. This blog is an effort to
view the arts, social media, current events, my own philosophical ponderings and the role of the global church through the lens of a humble Catholic Christian perspective.
