Hello!
Thank you for visiting! All of my icons are painted by hand in egg tempera in my studio in West Des Moines, Iowa. Here is what goes into an egg tempera icon:
clay bole
24k gold leaf
egg yolk
dry white wine
dry pigments
Icons are painted on a traditional icon board (wood board with natural gesso) or on a mixed media panel. All icons are finished with archival varnish.
