300 for 300: Joan of Arc

2018

A portrait of Joan of Arc commissioned by Nola Media Group, producers of NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune as part of its tricentennial project, 300 for 300: People who make New Orleans, New Orleans. Truth be told, Joan of Arc never set foot in New Orleans. Indeed, the martyred warrior saint lived and died some 300 years before the founding of the American city. But affection for the so-called Maid of Orleans -- a moniker bestowed upon her for her heroics during England's 1429 siege of the French city after which New Orleans was named -- still runs deep in the Crescent City. Part of that is because Joan, a revered French national hero and a Catholic saint, stands as a cultural touchstone both to the city's Gallic heritage and its rich Catholic traditions. But part of it also is because Joan of Arc is an easy-to-embrace female action hero, a gender-defying medieval badass who -- like the spirit of New Orleans -- was devout, determined and unbowed in the face of long odds. Even more impressive than the gleaming golden statue of her that looks out over Decatur Street in the French Quarter, Joan of Arc in 2009 became the recipient of arguably the highest honor the people of New Orleanians can bestow: She got a Mardi Gras krewe named after her. |

Artist + Saegan Swanson

Originally from the small town of Willits in Northern California, I moved to New Orleans from the Bay Area in 2013. I've always loved to draw and grew up taking art classes--everything from ceramics to modern dance--but it wasn't until my sophomore year in college that I took my first painting course. It was love at first sight and I've been fascinated with the medium ever since. New Orleans has given me the time, inspiration, and community support to paint and I couldn't be more grateful.
