Iconography

Hand-Chased Metal icons
crafted to last generations


Guided by the rich history of Christian iconography — both East and West — and using the ancient art of chasing and repoussé, I design and create traditional relief icons in semi-precious metals for liturgical and devotional use.

Formed slowly from brass, bronze, or copper through thousands of exacting hammer blows, each icon is made to endure for generations, whether placed in interior or exterior settings.

I pray that these tactile, reflective icons serve as steady companions in prayer, treasured heirlooms of devotion, and humble witnesses in the life of the Church — proclaiming the mystery of the Incarnation in enduring metals from age to age.

Beautiful and sensible. I love how you capture the icon in a way that is both traditional and surprising.

Anybody who is considering an icon commission with Evan will find that he will exceed your expectations in every way.

Ready to begin?

Few artists today practice this ancient craft of hammered metal iconography.

Shaped in prayer one hammer blow at a time, this work cannot be rushed, duplicated, or mass-produced.

With only a handful of icon commissions possible each year, I encouraged those considering a commission to get in touch early.
