Joan

Artist Statement:

an emblematic female figure! Inspired, courageous, mysterious. A seventeen-year-old peasant girl who heard voices from another dimension, she was inspired by the Archangel Michael to become a warrior to save the kingdom of France.

Her myth, her sanctity or her witchcraft could cloud the minds of the people and so she was investigated and burned at the stake! I wanted to pay homage to her by portraying her proudly in her armour with her hair in the wind and the banner with St. Michael intent on placing the halo on her head.
