  • Gold Leaf Gilding September 30, 2022
    Greetings Friends and Fellow Iconographers: I’ve been studying and painting Icons for almost thirty years! Since I first began, the field of iconography has changed so much!

  • 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

  • Icons by Father Sophrony June 30, 2022
    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 […]

  • Preparing For Easter March 31, 2022
    “Come then, let us run with him as he presses on to his passion. Let us imitate those who have gone out to meet him, not scattering olive branches or palms in his path, but spreading ourselves before him as best we can, with humility of soul and upright purpose. So may we welcome the … Continue reading Preparing For Easter

  • Inverse Perspective January 31, 2022
    I recently gave an online Icon writing retreat where one of the main topics covered was inverse perspective.
