The Fourteen Holy Helpers, Part I/II
Hi, I wanted to thank you for the incredible art of saints you made! I really like that some modern artists still get inspired by religion:))) Wanted to ask you where you get all the info about saints? Books or just internet like the rest of us?
This is so kind of you!!
I was very interested in the lives of the saints as a child & I read many books at that time. Francesco d’Assisi, Jeanne d’Arc, and Martín de Porres were particular favourites.
Nowadays I mostly use online resources. There are very good ones for information and images both (if you google <saint name> icon you’ll probably be able to see which ones inspired this set).
