"I find the world of Icons to be infinitely fascinating. Since first encountering Icon in France, my art making has evolved into a process that brings me into daily contact with GOd's Presence and love. As windows into heaven, Icons are relevant to Christians of any denomination. They are meant to be Holy Scripture in visual form." Christine Simoneau Hales
