This subseries consists of original paintings and drawings by Sister Margaret Ferris as well as prints and photographs of her artwork. There are two watercolour paintings. One is of the globe nailed to the cross, it is unclear if this is also the title of the work. There are two photographs and two photographic negatives of this artwork. The other watercolour is a circular mandala painting. The painting is divided into eight segments and features the yin and yang symbols. There is a coloured pencil drawing of three yellow flowers and six green leaves in spiralling streams of orange, red, purple, blue, yellow, and green in front of the moon, stars, sun, and planets. There are also six prints of God So Loved the World, an original watercolour by Sister Margaret. The artwork depicting a person with long dark hair hugging the world and some of the prints include the text “God so loved the world~” below the image. Five of the prints are 21.6 x 28 cm, one of which is an enlarged detail, and one print is 28 x 37 cm. The original of God So Loved the World is not present. There are also two sketchbooks with poetry, drawings, and paintings which may have been produced during her time in California.
