The iconography in the chapel is very traditional and created using age-old techniques but employing the modern medium of acrylic paint on prepared panels.  Each icon is first drawn, then the darker base colors are applied, on top of these the lighter highlights are added giving dimension to the images before the finishing work and details are applied.  For inspiration, we've looked to the work of some contemporary Romanian iconographers as well as the work of the 20th century master, Leonid Ouspensky who was one of the leaders of the Russian exile community in Paris after the Revolution in 1917.  The images have a graceful simplicity that echos the golden age of icon painting in the 14th and 15th centuries.  Each icon is chosen and placed quite intentionally based upon centuries old tradition in the Eastern Church and every one of them will provide a prayerful link to the Unseen God as well as the "great cloud of witnesses" (the Mother of God, the angels, and the saints) into whose presence we come for worship.
