Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc (c. 1412 – 1431) is a patron saint of France, honored as a defender of the French nation for her role in the siege of Orléans and her insistence on the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years' War. Claiming to be acting under divine guidance, she became a military leader who gained recognition as a savior of France.

janesartsstuff asked:

How long have you been painting and creating for now?

I'm not an artist, I just love art. I'm sorta like an art historian and/or art curator (if you can even call me that). My Interest in art started about two years ago, although it really began with my art history class. I had probably the best art history teacher a person can have. She taught me so much about art, and if I wasn't an art lover before I took her class, I definitely was one after!

Thanks for asking! If you have any more questions feel free to ask! 💕

Here's a little Leighton for the road:
