Hello!
Thank you for visiting! My icons are painted by hand in egg tempera in my studio in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. 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.
