  • Christian History August 31, 2022
    Hello Fellow Iconographers: Have you ever thought about what Christian History looks like in the visual image? I know that I tend to keep to a narrow view of the history of the development of icons and see the history of the Christian church in that perspective.  So, it was with great interest that I read … Continue reading Christian History

    Recently I have been reading a book by Sister Gabriela about Father Sophrony that includes many of his drawings and icons. I’m inspired by his approach and work and want to share that with you here. While attending art school in Russia in the 1920’s, one of his teachers was Vassily Kandinsky. Soon after, Sophrony … Continue reading Icons by Father Sophrony […]
