Channel Islander,
Karen, writes icons in Jersey where she was born and exhibits in
Jersey and France. This website showcases Karen's work. Now
retired, Karen continues to persue her passion for art.
"The whole process of writing an icon is a theological journey from the bare board of the crucifixion to the luminous colours of the resurrection. The writing of icons is according to traditional techniques. These I have learnt over the years through several courses in iconography; the history of iconography, scripture and iconography and conciliar iconography. As well as practical courses; such as drawing the icon, painting, gilding and designing the icon."

What is an icon?
An icon is a very special piece of Christian Art. It is prayfully hand crafted using traditional techniques and is a focus for prayer in the home and/or Church.
