Icon Studio


The Icon Studio of the Convent of St. Elizabeth produces Icons in all sizes. Icons are in strict Byzantine- or traditional Russian-style. For full or partial Church Iconography, large Icons can be produced on canvas and permanently applied to Church walls and ceilings. Our Icon studio has a well-known reputation for the beauty and refined artistic quality of its work, and this at the lowest prices available. We also provide Icon prints of our Icon productions. We hold the copyright to reproduce any icon we have painted.

Printed Icons


Icon prints are copies of original Icons painted in the Icon Studio of the Convent of St. Elizabeth. Custom prints are available from tiny locket size prints up to wall size murals. (Please see our Custom Icons section for more information.)
