Why My Art Reflects St. Thérèse
Louisiana-based artist Nichole Lanthier is inspired by the Little Flower.
One hundred years ago, on May 17, 2025, St. Thérèse was canonized.
Pope Pius XI said in his homily that “the Maid of Lisieux took the resolution of doing all things for love of Jesus, with the sole object of pleasing Him, of consoling His Divine Heart, and of saving a multitude of souls who would love Him eternally.”
Devotees of the saint of the “Little Way” continue to be inspired by her witness of faith and love.
That includes art.
Louisiana-based artist Nichole Lanthier, artist/owner of Nichole Lanthier Art, has noted on her Instagram account that she is inspired by the Little Flower: “St. Thérèse is one of my favorite saints, and I imagine I will never stop drawing/painting her!”
She shared with the Register three of her own favorite renderings of this dear saint, including the main art above.
Little Flower, pray for us!
