Presenter(s)

​Father Abbot Damian Higgins

Father Higgins is a Ukrainian Catholic priest of the Eparchy of St. Nicholas in Chicago. He has served the church as an iconographer for over 22 years. His primary work is the painting of and the teaching about the traditional methods of egg tempera iconography in the Byzantine tradition. He seeks to give emphasis to the work of revealing the capacity of the natural materials that one works with to convey truths about the immaterial that one seeks to encounter in the sacred art of iconography.
