Valentin Gomez, my spouse and I are both self-taught iconographers and have been quietly working together for 26 years. Valentin’s work in hand-tooled pewter is called the repousé technique. His master craftsmanship fits perfectly to my hand-painted original Byzantine style icons. The techniques of Repouse and egg tempera are a perfect 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.
