Sister Mary Clearance

Sister Mary Clearance became a fully professed Sister in the DC House of Magnificent Intentions in June 2026, completing a full year of requirements with devotion, discipline, and radiant spirit. A working female illusionist for more than 20 years, Sister Mary Clearance has long brought art, glamour, and transformation to the stage, using makeup, performance, and presence to celebrate authenticity and joy.

A seasoned makeup artist, LGBTQ+ community activist, ordained minister, and interfaith minister for over 15 years, Sister Mary Clearance has dedicated a life of service to uplifting others and creating spaces rooted in love, inclusion, and spiritual care. She is known for her bold expression, compassionate heart, and commitment to justice, healing, and community empowerment.


In true Sister fashion, her look reflects the sacred and the fabulous: a black habit with crisp white trim, a rainbow stole honoring LGBTQ+ pride, and a striking crown of pearls and color that speaks to both reverence and celebration. Sister Mary Clearance stands as a symbol of faith, resilience, visibility, and the joyful power of being fully and unapologetically oneself.
