“Joan of Arc - The Calling”

“Joan of Arc - The Calling” is my interpretation of Joan of Arc when she begins hearing the voice of God and is unwavering in her following. I’ve tried to capture her purity in her morning garden as she prays with devotion and lovingly receives her inner calling.

“Joan of Arc - The Spiritual Warrior” is painted in her full armor, chopped off hair, and symbolic saintly ring of light around her head. It is recorded that she said, “I was born to do this.” At any age, her journey is amazing but to begin hearing and welcoming God’s voice at 13 and lead the French army to victory in the 100 Year War at 16 is no small feat. And at 19, she was burned at the stake because she held to the Truth. Her willingness to follow God’s will is awe-inspiring and her fierce spirit is magnificent. To me, Joan represents humanity at its greatest.
