For most of my life I have been interested in art, and have dabbled in everything from murals to portraits, and from ceramics to precious metal clay. For most of my life I have been active in my faith, attending weekly mass, getting involved in various ministries. One day I found myself taking an icon class, very much by chance, but I now believe by design. I fell in love with iconography and sacred images. It consumed me. I wanted to learn as much as I could. After having worked in the outside world for over 30 years, I told my husband I just want to write (paint) icons everyday. I love the prayerful atmosphere, and the liberating feeling of trying to allow the Spirit to guide me. So with the encouragement of friends and family and most especially my husband, this is what I do. I take ten short steps up the stairs to my studio where I can paint and pray. The lingering smell of incense and Gregorian chants fill my studio. So now I feel like I've found what I should be doing. I've combined my interest in art with my Catholic Christian faith. My goal is simply to serve HIM, and touch as many lives as possible with my work. When I finish an Icon I have it professional photographed, I have ready to frame prints or prints mounted and laminated onto wood making it affordable for every one to have an icon. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in an original icon. AMDG!!!!
