Hello There!

Hello there! I'm Joan, and I'm a Catholic artist from the Midwest. I was born and raised Catholic, but never felt grounded in my faith.

That changed shortly after I was Confirmed. I found the book "Saints Behaving Badly" and my life was forever changed. I always thought that Saints were these holier-than-thou people on pedestals. But in reality, they were messed up too.

I turned to the Saints a lot in my teenage years. Their stories of mental and spiritual struggles was a lot of comfort for me. I found myself doodling them in class, and when I got my I-pad, I started drawing them digitally.

I went to college, and my love for Saints grew. I started learning everything I could. Bl. Carlo Acutis, soon to be SAINT Carlo Acutis, really inspired me.

Now, I draw them for a living. I love stickers, so I make stickers of them hoping to start conversations. That's now moved onto prints and keychains, and I hope to add more soon!

Let me know if you have questions!
