Tamara Penwell

I studied iconography with the help and guidance of several different teachers but predominantly developed independently, studying different icon-painting traditions as well as the work modern-day iconographers. I have also trained in mosaic making and buon fresco technique. I have fulfilled private and public icon commissions in the UK and abroad. I live in Bath and am a member of the parish of St John of Kronstadt where my husband is the parish priest. Every two years our parish hosts a charity fundraiser Festival of Orthodox Arts – next one due in Oct 2026.
