Hi there,

I'm wondering if there is a set of ['do's and don't's'] regulations in regards to illustrating Catholic saints?

I am a Christian artist and want to do a series on Catholic saints but I can't seem to find any information in regards to this topic and I don't want to offend anyone!

Kindest Regards,

Mary Ann replied:

Hi Kate,

As an artist, you are free to depict them in any manner that is not sacrilegious or obscene.

You might want to find out the symbol associated traditionally with a given saint, and of what he or she is the patron.

Other than that, read John Paul II's beautiful letter to artists and go to it!

Mary Ann
