Can a painting stir our soul to pray?
Religious icons, paintings that represent God, or the saints, have had a long history in the christian church. For many Christians icons are a window into the face of God and they can invite us to pray and to reflect on God’s goodness and mercy.
I have always loved religious art and have been especially drawn to icons of Mary, Joseph, and many of the christian saints. Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of my favorite icons and therefore one of the first in my new series Saints and Angels.

The story of Our Lady of Guadalupe I find very moving. It is a story of Juan Diego, a poor man living in Mexico city in the year 1531. Juan is greeted one day by the blessed Virgin Mary who has a special request of him. You can read more details of the story hear at Franciscan Friars
I will be adding more saints to my icon collection under the Saints and Angels tab above. if you have a favorite saint you would like rendered as an icon you can always commission one by contacting me at [email protected]
