An Artist's work is not intended to be one intended focal point but rather an invitation to perceive in another way. Sacred Art needs to be seen by the viewer for it to exist. “If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?” Walking past an image in your home is like a forest of trees, the viewer is changing during the walk, and when Art does make a sound you notice. Sacred art is not static, those who view the work are in relationship with the image and respond with private interpretations and meaning. Who is that talking with John the Baptist?

There is a fundamental reality and relationship between what we cannot perceive and the material world we participate in. Most of us, at least once have asked, why are we here? what’s the point of being? and we are being what? Thank God, I get to rest from my questioning mind through the Sacred Arts.

The discipline of Iconography is about God: Icons are brought into existence to communicate love. Icons direct the mind to experience Creation. Icons reflect the goodness that exists in Creation. And since one iconographer cannot adequately represent all of Creation in any one painting, we have an abundance of diverse images. Hence, the universe as a whole participates in God’s goodness. Everything we see or contemplate, in the entire universe reflects images of the divine. Christ energy is the love and consciousness that are to be discovered and cherished by humanity. The energy of Christ and the evolution of body, mind, and spirit are windows to the divine. Flesh and spirit, action and contemplation, and wait and see all become engaged as the mind is aware of while painting.

Iconography is the oldest sacred art practice in the Christian tradition and was the only artform in use across the global Christian church until the Great Schism between the East and West in 1054. Although Western Christians from a variety of denominations engage with a range of sacred art traditions, iconography remains the only art practice that is used by Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant churches. As such, it is the most widely used, cross-denominational Christian artform in the world.

BOOK : Women and Icons In Light of Women on LULU Women today uphold a revered prayer focus crucial for spiritual development. Byzantine-style Icons, a tradition spanning 1,700 years, embody continuity. The enduring practice of egg tempera transcends time, conveying across generations. Contemporary iconography, rooted in Orthodox tradition, pushes boundaries while honoring the divine story. The practice of egg tempera has quietly endured and continues to speak across generations. “As a contemporary iconographer, adding new images and perspectives my physical, mental, and spiritual strengths are reflected in the art form while my attention is tuned to an inner silence without limit.” Traditional Byzantine icons are a gift the Orthodox Church has given to the world, a well-preserved doctrine for the expression and unification of believers. I have used the Orthodox tradition. Yes, with absolute respect. Contemporary Icons challenge the ongoing understanding and revelation of the divine story …More

In Medieval times, portable objects with spiritual power were common and credited with protection. Since Christian missionaries constantly traveled, they required smaller objects to convey their message to the public. These objects came to be known as icons – the word itself means “image.” Some of the earliest examples of Byzantine Angels were encaustic reliefs. Although encaustic panel paintings were easily portable, they often became damaged in hot weather. Soaring temperatures could easily melt the wax and destroy the image on the wooden panel. Byzantine Angels are Messengers to Illuminate the Heart

St. Athanasius says: “Christ became man, that man might become God.” This simple statement has intrigued and confounded me my whole adult life. Eight words explain perfectly the relationship of flesh and spirit and how they are inextricably connected. This mystical concept has been inspirational and takes a lifetime to grasp. Then, I stumbled into icon painting with egg tempera and earth pigments.
