About: I stepped on a holy card of St. Jude at work one day. Not sure where it came from or why it was in the grocery store… but I brought him home. I had just been on a tropical vacation and the colors were still burning in my imagination. The art, the brilliant sun near the equator, the food and drink, the company, the everglades and gathering sea shells at dawn during low tide, none of it had managed to move me through a bout of anxiety. I was painting saints at the time, mixing modern fashion iconography and traditional iconography. The juxtaposition of the tropics and anxiety felt like a good iteration. Jude is a treat to have around. He’s the patron saint of hopeless cases. He is painted on crowd-sourced gold and silver candy wrappers.
