My Journey
Life
A pastor's kid, I was raised Presbyterian and was our church pianist. Then, while studying at the Art Institute of Chicago trying to find ways to describe the otherworldly nature of light and time, I fell in love with Orthodoxy finding these things in worship.
Light
I met my husband in our parish choir. We home-schooled two children who play piano, and we make music together. Unable to travel for icon classes while they were young, I tried to tap into the meaning of light in iconography, sometimes inventing my own language to do so.
Logos
In my journey writing icons, I have been overwhelmed with God's ever-present grace over time. I have been an icon writer for more than twenty years, choosing the historical and unifying language of the church through the Prosopon School of Iconology.
Now available to others as a local resource and teacher, I hope to help others find His light through this sacred art.
