Icon Retreats

Contemplative Icon Writing Retreats

As an artist/iconographer, I specialize in painting modern icons—images inspired by ancient Christian traditions. I use gold leaf and vibrant colors to create portraits of spiritual figures like Christ and the saints. My goal is to make these sacred images feel alive and meaningful for people today, whether they’re religious or just appreciate art with a sense of history and depth.. When we begin an icon, we do not see the finished image clearly. We proceed step by step—layer upon layer—trusting that illumination will come through obedience to the process and prayer.

Painting Icons is a gift, and while it is hard work, the rewards are forever!
