Merci F. McCoy is a liturgical artist whose work is born not only from creativity, but from prayer. Each piece begins in silence and contemplation, rooted in Scripture and a deep relationship with Christ. Inspired by the call of St. John Paul II to artists, Merci understands her work as a form of service to the Church and describes herself as a humble instrument through which God makes His beauty visible.
The Come and See Sacred Art Exhibit offers more than a visual experience. It is an invitation to slow down, to pray, and to encounter the presence of God through sacred imagery. Merci’s paintings are created as acts of devotion, meant to draw the viewer into reflection and dialogue with the Lord. Through color, light, and sacred symbolism, her art opens a window into the mysteries of faith and invites every visitor into a moment of prayerful stillness.
