The Saint with Filigree

A wood carving of St. Barbara stands in quiet contrast to the steel weapons and armor surrounding her at the Chicago Art Institute. Her presence gently rejects the cold hardness of the room.

In the original drawing, I used intricate leafy filigree, delicate graphite details and blended colored pencil to further soften the wooden form and highlight her tranquil strength.
