Sacred artist Tianna Williams adds to Ascension’s collection of Holy Men & Women Sacred Art with a beautiful new painting of St. Thérèse.
To join her evocative portraits of St. Augustine of Hippo, St. Josephine Bakhita, and St. Martin de Porres, Tianna Williams has added another impactful saint to Ascension’s Holy Men & Women Sacred Art Collection: St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
Intentionally painted to capture the heart of St. Thérèse, this new image gives the faithful a stunning image to pray with when they ask for the intercession of this great saint and reflect upon her life and writings.
Rose petals fall from the saint’s fingers, reminding Catholics of St. Thérèse’s promise to send down a shower of roses from heaven upon those who ask for her intercession.
Artist Tianna Williams explains her vision behind the imagery of St. Thérèse’s halo: “Overall, it is a more simple halo than the other saints in the series, which seemed fitting with the simplicity of her spirituality. The design is European in style, since she lived in France, but I did include diamonds to tie it in subtly with the rest of the series. The design in the middle is my favorite part, as it looks like flower petals.”
The Sacred Art of St. Thérèse is the perfect companion for the St. Thérèse Candle and St. Thérèse prayer cards.
Sacred Art of St. Thérèse is available at www.AscensionPress.com.
About the Artist
Born into a musical ministry family, Tianna Williams has always had a love for art and beauty. After dabbling in various artistic media during her childhood, Tianna began a career in graphic design at the age of 16. For more than a decade now, she has been honing her skills and sense of mission for bringing beauty to the Church through the visual arts.
Shortly after her marriage in 2015, Tianna picked up a paintbrush once again. What started as a few portraits of the modern saints for her daughter’s bedroom soon blossomed into a flourishing ministry and website: Sacred Art By Tianna.
Today, Tianna is a leading Catholic artist who seeks to honor the lives of holy men and women through her paintings. She explains, “As I have painted the faces of Mary and the saints, I feel as though I have developed a beautiful friendship with these holy souls. Each one has challenged me in a unique way—one may call me to perseverance, another to patience, yet another to simplicity. Time and again I have experienced a flood of grace that has allowed me to do what I know I am not capable of. I am deeply humbled to have been called to this work, and profoundly grateful.”
Tianna lives in Saskatchewan, Canada with her husband and children.
