Join us for an exhibit of exquisitely rendered icons made in the Byzantine style by artist Connie Ehrlich. Made using traditional egg tempera with natural pigments and genuine gold leaf on special wood panels, each icon reveals magical nuances of light and color. These contemplative artworks were created specifically to remind us of the intersection between the physical and spiritual worlds. The result is a set of quiet, sacred objects of luminescent beauty, an antidote to a world of neverending noise.

Connie Ehrlich graduated in December 1993 from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS with a Master of Fine Arts in painting. After graduation, she pursued a career as a full-time artist and exhibited her work nationally. In 2019, she became interested in the world of iconography. At first, she tried creating icons on her own, but eventually realized she needed formal training. In 2020 she started studying with the Prosopon School of Iconology. Since then she has continued to study and hone her skills as an iconographer.

We will be hosting First Friday receptions on September 5 and October 3. Connie Ehrlich will be giving an artist talk at 6:30pm on September 5, followed by an audience Q&A.

We will be open for gallery hours every Saturday in September and October, from 2 – 4pm.
