Valentin Gomez, my spouse and I are both self-taught iconographers and have been quietly working together for 26 years. Our work in Embossing Metal and Egg Tempera is extraordinary. Valentin’s work in hand-tooled pewter is called the repousé technique or embossed metal. His master craftsmanship fits perfectly to my hand-painted one of a kind Byzantine style icons. The techniques of Embossing Metal and egg tempera are both ancient techniques and a perfect visual marriage. Our studio is open to visitors in San Miguel Allende, Mexico. Our dream is to add a few new Icons to those existing in the world, hoping that this great sacred art tradition will continue in liturgy and prayer for a long time to come.
