OC/IC Artists & Craftspeople

A while back I wrote this post on Christian art. I had cause to re-visit it this morning, while looking over this year’s re-design of my local community’s web page. It has got me thinking: where are our OC/IC artists and craftspeople: painters, carvers, jewellers, embroiderers, writers, poets, musicians – the people who through their creativity offer something of the spirit for everyone else?

I would like to add a page of links either here, or on one of my other web pages, of OC/IC artists – hopefully with images of examples of their work. If you, or someone you know is an OC/IC believer and an artisan – whose art and creativity is shaped by, and reflects our faith and tradition – please pop a comment on this post and point the rest of us toward your work.

    Father Seraphim McCune in Texas makes wonderful “mini-monstrances” for those inclined to eucharistic adoration – as well as other handiwork. See his website

    Thanks John,

    I thought of him yesterday, and could not think of where I put his URL.

    Another who comes to mind is Siobhan Houston (http://www.siobhanhouston.com/index.htm ) in addition to being an author and academic,she does various forms of “textile” art – very neat, I believe she’s been exhibited too.

    I seem to recall that Bp. Elaine Bessette in WA is an iconographer? I’ll drop her a note and be sure I’m “remembering” correctly.

    There is also Regina Krause, who does wonderful knitted stoles, etc.

  • Alexis Tančibok

    Ah, does she have a web page, or a contact email?

    I’ve checked and +Bessette in WA does icons (very nice!) as well as “various other” you can view a couple of her icons on their community’s site:

    I don’t know how I could have forgotten about Fr Michael Zysk, priest in the Ecclesia Pistis Sophia, whom I met when we were both in Illinois last year. Here he writes about his iconography:

    Though Im’ not a fan of gnosticism the images he’s created are really neat!

  • John Plummer

    He’s also a really nice person – and he kindly gave me a copy of his Apostolic Succession icon on a wooden plaque. It looks great in person.

  • Alexis Tančibok

    I just took a closer look at the “Apostolic Succession” image – it’s really well imagined – very cool!
