I am a traditionally trained Catholic iconographer.
I am also a Montessori guide working full-time in Portugal. I paint icons during my school holidays!
I love Christ and His holy Mother. I love the Church. "I believe in the communion of saints." I would like to paint as many saints as possible, asking their wonderful intercession and friendship for our journey on earth.
" Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in Heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness... They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus... So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped."
~Catechism of the Catholic Church~
I came late to the field of iconography and was blessed to study with Aidan Hart and work closely with Martin Earle in the UK. Although I would love to work full time as an iconographer, it has been necessary to teach as well and the little children have helped me tremendously in my faith.
I want to tell the story of the saints because I believe in their friendship and intercession for us. An icon conveys their presence.
My childhood memories are bathed by the gentle nodding red glow of the tabernacle candle as my Mum took us to make "little visits" to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament... the saints are these small flames, illuminating the way to Christ... may our minds and our homes be filled with these gentle lights.
