In this broadcast we will be conducting an interview with the Orthodox Christian iconographer Shayne Swenson. Shayne is an extremely talented artist and it was said of him by another regional iconographer that he is a "miracle." Largely self taught, his icons grace churches, monasteries, and private icon corners around the country (including mine: the icon of the Prophet Daniel which can be seen in my icon corner during my livestreams was painted by him). He is especially affiliated with All-Merciful Saviour Monastery; it seems that every time I visit their monastery temple there is a new icon there which was painted by Shayne. In this stream we will be having a conversation about his journey and artwork. We will also showcase his website where people can make inquiries if they would like to commission work from him. Finally, Shayne has recently begun posting tutorials for how to paint icons on his YouTube channel.
