Iconography is an art form considered sacred and beautiful. Traditionally created with egg tempera and 24k gold leaf, the icon begins with deep base colors followed by successive layers of lights and tinted veils. Stillwater artist Judy Symalla values this ancient technique of creating Byzantine iconography but also pushes herself to bring a freshness by incorporating a Western perspective in a predominantly Eastern art.

Symbolic Lights: iconography by Judy Symalla will be on view through January 2.
