The piercing yet gentle eyes in this image reflect the holy woman, Catherine of Sienna, whose persuasive words and clarity of thought moved thousands to join the cause of Christ, and convinced the Pope to return to Rome from Avignon. She was favored with the Wwounds of Christ (The Stigmata).

Author of a great theological work, Dialogue, she has been declared a Doctor of the Church. She died in 1380, at the age of thirty-three. Her feast day is April 29th. She is the patron of Italy, Europe, nurses, firefighters, and sick people.

I used watercolor and colored pencil to produce this image. I stylized it to somewhat resemble an icon.

Each of the 3 sizes indicates outside dimensions. There is a border of white left around the image, approximately 1 1/2" to 2" all around..
