The Icon Series is a major rearrangement of the artists skills and a more precise direction in assigning new voices to old symbols.

When we break open the world of Icons we see the elements, a series of symbols depicting a spiritual idea, prepared to be the object of reverence for this or that aspect of one's spirit.

These pieces are carved gesso layers applied to panels. This is the same as traditional methods of creating a true Icon. The carving is deeper, a low relief, which is more than the Icons of old would have done. They are painted in a water color technique using temperas made by the artist. Some of the icons in this series are then gilded using different types of precious metal leaf depending on the poetry of the moment. They are then finished with a clear, conservatorial wax. The frames are hand made by the artist's husband. They are dark and stocky to accommodate the weighty presense of the art work.
