About the Artist

Nomen est omen....

"Drawherty" is a play on the pronunciation of my surname (Dougherty) mixed with my lifelong love of drawing. I'm a self-taught artist with a passion for ancient history, Catholic heritage, and beautiful things made by real people (no AI). I'm also an ice hockey enthusiast; hence, the breastplate "logo" form of the work you will find here. (Incidentally, most of the other illustrations that adorn the website were also made by me.) Each image is hand drawn then digitally reproduced for you on products that can be worn and used in daily life. The hope is that this artwork will embolden my fellow travelers in our earthly pilgrimage by recalling the holy patrons who have tread before us and raising our minds and hearts to the heavenly wonders that await us.
