Traditional Hand Written Icons from Evagelia D using egg tempera colors and 22k gold leaf. Evagelia uses a "burnished gold" technique known as "stilvoto" on the majority of her pieces. This traditional technique requires Evagelia to pass over the entire gold leaf portion of the Icon with an agate stone giving the pieces an exquisitely lustrous shine. Evagelia is a graduate of the Greek Institute of Fine Arts and has been an Iconographer for over 30 years. Her pieces decorate many churches as well as private collections around the world. Some of her pieces can be found at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Jamaica NY
