I ran across some videos from the BBC series Sister Wendy's story of painting at YouTube.
This is from episode one, ancient art.
the entire series is on the documentary channel here (streaming only).
I had always assumed that she was a Benedictine. (In the Catholic church, Benedictines tend to be oriented to art, music, books and hospitality) but according to Wikipedia, she actually was a nun in a teaching order, is South African, not British, and is now a "consecrated virgin", sort of a hermit: and she is living with the Carmelites in the UK.
more at the PBS website.
