Hand-painted sacred icons for Pittsburgh, Cleveland & Detroit
The cities of the Great Lakes and Pennsylvania were built in part by immigrants from Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean: Ruthenian, Serbian, Greek, Ukrainian and Arab Christian. Their churches, with iconostases and domes, are still the heart of many neighbourhoods.
The Christian East on the Great Lakes
- Pittsburgh is the seat of the Byzantine Catholic (Ruthenian) Metropolitan Archeparchy, with its Eastern-rite parishes.
- In Cleveland the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Theodosius, in the Tremont neighbourhood, with its thirteen domes.
- In Detroit the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral and the large Christian communities of Antiochian and Chaldean tradition.

Saint George and the dragon

Commissioning and shipping to the United States
Consultations take place online, in English or Italian, at a time that suits your time zone. During the work you receive photographs of every stage; the icon arrives with its certificate of authenticity on real parchment and an explanatory booklet in English. Shipments to the United States require customs documentation and, because international rules and conditions change often, arrangements, timing, costs and any import charges are checked at the time of commission.
