Sr. Huai-Kuang Miao is a member of The Community of Jesus, a monastic community in Orleans, Massachusetts in the Benedictine tradition. She collaborated with Sr. Mary Lane, also of The Community of Jesus on this project - and their collaberative syle of illustration blends a precise attention to detail with a wonder for the mysticism of the text. Miao studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. She lives on Cape Cod.
