David Lee Csicsko: Making the saints accessible today

Well-known Chicago artist and lifelong Catholic David Lee Csicsko creates happy images of saints. With their bright colors, cheery round faces and objects relevant to the saints’ lives, such as roses for St. Therese of Lisieux, his images could be considered modern-day iconography.
