St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church Art Exhibit
“ICONS in Transformation”
St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church, located on Snell Isle, is hosting an internationally acclaimed modern art traveling exhibition of works of Russian-Swedish abstract expressionist Ludmila Pawlowska.
The “Icons in Transformation” exhibit features paintings created by Pawlowska over a decade. She began creating the “icons” after the sudden death of her mother. She found comfort recalling the icons she had seen in Russia monasteries and used her artwork to work through her grief.
